The NMA Radio Hour is a weekly show presented by the New Music Alliance. It features original music of performers and bands from the Western New England area. And that’s music from New Haven Connecticut and thereabouts all the way through Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont. It includes recent releases & songs/bands from the past.

This week for our 206th show our hosts are Mistress Miriam & Mark Ramone. This is also our 22nd Pairing Show where we match up a popular song most everyone has heard and pair it with a song from a Western New England artist that has a similar feel or vibe. We think that if you like the nationally or internationally known song, you’ll like the local one just as much if not more. Here’s a taste of who you’ll hear:

- Slobberbone
- Drunk Stuntmen
- Lucinda Williams
- Nina Nastasia
- Meredith Brooks
- Kristen Ford
- Lenny Kravitz
- Robert Ashley
- Laura Branigan
- Catstronaut84

Catch this week’s radio hour this Thursday June 15th from 6-7PM on WXOJ Northampton (streaming on valleyfreeradio.org), WMNB North Adams, or WCCH Holyoke; or at 7-8 pm on WTBR Pittsfield. Or catch it at midnight Friday June 16th on WWUH Hartford (wwuh.org). Also on Saturday June 17th at 4-5 pm on WMCB Greenfield or WECS Willimantic (WECS Radio 90.1 FM) or at 10 pm on WAPJ Torrington or WHUS Storrs (whus.org). See each station's website for their streaming details. Enjoy!!

Hey all,
Been a long time since we've posted up here and we're sorry. The bands been going through some changes and some hard times but things are working out and we plan to be back better than ever. Some of us have been getting together and writing some new material for you guys to enjoy and hope to get a new album together by winter. We'll be trying all the new material on you this fall so keep a sharp eye because we're coming back big baby. Till then I'll try to keep you all up to date, post some videos of some of our practices from earlier this year and before you know it we'll be posting a fresh schedule. From all of us to all of you , thank you for sticking by, coming to the gigs and buying the albums. We can't wait to show you the new stuff! -Chris
