Almost one year after nearly 1,300 listeners helped shatter a single-day fundraising record for the organization, WMNF is not resting on its laurels.

The nearly 47-year-old community radio station has long been a bastion for free speech and is now one of the last places to hear hand-picked, often homegrown, music on the radio.

WMNF gets some help passing the hat at this second “Save Our Soundwaves” concert featuring out-of-the-box art-punk by Lobster’s Gyro Shack, more straight ahead rock sounds from Liquid Pennies and Cozy in the Black, plus the refined art-pop of Sorry Barb.
