Major Announcement from The EDGE

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Hello and thank you for checking out our blog.  Do we have a major announcement for all our listeners.  WFNP The Edge is currently in the works for a spring acoustic concert at Bacchus in New Paltz.  No acts have been named officially, however, if you are a fan and frequent listener of the Edge and “Live and Local” with Nikki G you will probably recognize some of the performers once they are announced.  Keep reading the blog each week for more information as we release it.  The concert is scheduled for the beginning of May so keep your eyes and ears open for any more announcements.  This should be a fun night with great music at Bacchus in New Paltz.  There will be updates not only here on wfnp.org but also our Facebook fan page and Twitter @WFNP.  Thanks for reading, listening, and supporting The Cutting Edge of the Hudson Valley WFNP.
