Join host Jared Widjeskog as he spins through all areas of his music collection and follows his curiosity into unforeseen places. Primarily a music show, Jared welcomes randomness and participation with the hope that new things can be learned. While listening to the Sugar Shack Jukebox we can expect to hear R&B/Soul, Funk, Rock, Reggae, Blues, Psychedelic, Hip Hop, Art Rock, local music, and much more. We'll hear studio and live cuts, great instrumentals, rarities and album tracks alongside well-known and loved classic hits. With a musicological bent, the SSJ offers enough juice for the music geek while maintaining the fun for casual listeners of all ages. Call-ins and guest musicians encouraged and welcomed!

Noted enthusiast Jared Widjeskog was locally grown in Stuyvesant, New York. After several worldwide travels and stints living in major U.S. cities, he unscientifically confirmed a long-held notion that Columbia County is the Center of the Universe. He seeks a greater truth through experiences with people, music, and the great outdoors. Jared is concerned about justice regarding social problems, the economy, and the environment. A few of his heroes, for whom he holds utmost respect and admiration, include John Muir, Malcolm X, Pete Seeger, and Bob Marley. He is thankful for his parents and loved ones, and for the vital role WGXC plays in shaping the future of Columbia and Greene Counties. Jared hosts the Sugar Shack Jukebox, which can be heard every Friday morning from 11am until noon on WGXC.
