Tune into the “WGXC Afternoon Show” for local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community, made by volunteers in the community.

During the 5 p.m. hour, host Kieran Riley is joined by guitarist and songwriter Gary Lucas. Lucas has worked with Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, Jeff Buckley, and in 1989 formed his longtime band GODS AND MONSTERS, featuring a revolving cast of players. On December 22, with local opener Spaghetti Eastern, a performance at the Colony Woodstock will serve as the debut for the latest iteration of the band. In the words of the acclaimed guitarist, GODS AND MONSTERS is now “a psychedelic power trio” featuring bassist Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers, Arthur Russell) and drummer Calvin Weston (James “Blood” Ulmer, Lounge Lizards).
