LCC Radio Interview & Grand River Studio Sessions
LCC Radio (89.7 FM in Lansing) has been a major supporter of my music since I made the commitment to do music full time in 2011. (I even finished writing the bridge to “Love Birds” while warming up in the studio, while staring at the stars in their logo!)
This May, LCC Radio will be broadcasting interviews, a concert taping, and offering a free download of a song on their website as the M897 Artist Spotlight.
1. Grand River Studio Session!
My episode airs on Friday, May 8 at 5 PM and rebroadcasted Wednesday, May 13 at 7 PM.
We taped nine songs and two interview pieces for the show. I crafted a special set list for the taping, including one song from my first EP that I haven’t played live in many years.
The audio will air on LCC Radio 89.7 FM, and LCC TV will be broadcasting the video footage.
Many thanks to the video and audio crews for spending their afternoon with me taping the show!
2. Friday, May 8, noon: Live on air on the Coffee Break Show with hosts Jack and Karen

We’ll be talking about my May tour with Peyton Tochterman, how the musical life has changed now that I’m a dad, and!what to expect from the Grand River Radio Session being broadcasted that night.
3. Free Download of “Burning Bright” at M897 Artist Spotlight this month of May!
Sarah Spohn will be interviewing me for the M897 Artist Spotlight, and LCC Radio will be offering a few download of “Burning Bright.”
