Pushing the Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Dec 29, 2018 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Avant-garde

With Joel Krutt

Pushing the Envelope, in it's 29th year of bringing you the finest in the outer realms of contemporary music, from the worlds of classical, rock, jazz, ambient, electroacoustic, etc., etc., etc. With a healthy dollop of new and classic progressive rock and jazz-rock fusion thrown in for good measure.

2018 PTE Picks, Part 2

The second of three shows highlighting those releases that caught my attention during 2018. BTW, they're not in any ranked order. They're all cool in their own ways. Check out something you haven't heard before and find out for your self! Enjoy and Happy New Year!!
