We close the show today with a little live music to spring us into the Memorial Day weekend.
Austin Caughlin is a name familiar to listeners of Midday. Every Friday, we remind you that Austin wrote and recorded the Midday theme music. Austin is on the composing staff of Clean Cuts, a music production studio here in Baltimore.
On Saturday night, May 27th, Austin hosts a benefit concert -"Singing in Solidarity" - with other artists and musicians from 7-9 pm at the Four Hour Day Lutherie to raise money for the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.
Austin joins Tom in the studio today with Mikecheck, a local singer and musician who'll also be appearing at the SPLC benefit tomorrow night, along with other performers, including singer Sandy Asirvatham and writer Rion Amilcar Scott.
