Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community.
This week, Aaron welcomes one of our favorite local musicians: Jesse Fox, who’s got a new album due out this fall. He’s already dropping singles ahead of the album release – including his latest, “Luck,” which he played live in our studio. He also plugged a pair of upcoming shows: he’ll be at Cat’s Cradle Back Room this Saturday, September 20, and then he’s among the headliners at Hillsborough’s River Park Concert, a free show all day Saturday, October 25.
97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every weekday morning, 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck chats with government officials, UNC scholars, business and nonprofit leaders, area musicians, and others in our community as they share their thoughts, their experience, and their expertise on the central issues of today. Click here to listen back to all of Aaron’s conversations – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” at 7:30 a.m. on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.
