All this and the best music on any planet, only on WUSB 90.1fm Stony Brook

On March 12, internationally renowned Renaissance rock band Blackmore’s Night, featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night and their band of minstrels, are proud to release Nature’s Light. Their fi rst new album in six years, and eleventh studio album overall, Nature’s Light will be released via
earMUSIC (distributed by BFD / The Orchard). Having achieved international success, with several gold records and a global track record of sold-out performances, Blackmore’s Night have crafted a 20+ year legacy of merging medieval melodies with rock elements, initially evidenced on Ritchie Blackmore’s groundbreaking work with Deep Purple and Rainbow. Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Candice Night seamlessly blends her ethereal vocals and lyrics, along with a command of numerous classic woodwinds. With Blackmore traversing all matter of six-string instruments, from acoustic and electric guitar to mandolin, mandolas, hurdy gurdy, and nyckelharpa,
the result is a unique listening experience.

Shore Leave 42 July 9 - 11, 2021

Dear Fellow Fans,
While we are heartened by the progress being made in fighting the coronavirus pandemic, for the health, safety, and comfort of our attendees, guests, volunteers, and staff, the Shore Leave organizing committee has decided it is best that Shore Leave run in a virtual mode again this year.
We had hoped that COVID-19 concerns might lessen by summer. However, given the additional issues of emerging viral strains and challenges with vaccine distribution, it is clear that holding a crowded social event like ours would not be the responsible thing to do at this time. A virtual event will allow all of us to maintain those connections so essential to our daily lives while making sure everyone is as safe and healthy as possible when we meet in real life as we plan to do in July of 2022.
We are actively working with our guests to have them be part of our Virtual Con for 2021. Be sure to keep an eye on our social media for the latest news - Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Planning is in progress to move much of the programming to a virtual setting on the Shore Leave weekend (July 9 - 11, 2021) using Zoom, Gathertown, and Discord. Please watch for communications regarding this year’s programming, and maybe a few special surprises!
