PPR Listeners….I will be exploring independent venues and artists in New York, discussing influence, history and sustainability while bringing you music from the emerging indie underground. Field reporting and studio sessions combine for an hour dedicated to conscience, connection and community with a main focus on our local Hudson Valley. The Indie Hour airs Thursday’s at 9 pm and Saturday afternoons at 3 pm. Simply click the listen live on our home page and click on the first link you see. Future articles will feature the different bands and solo artists who appear on the show. Click below to link to Delia’s website: http://www.deliastanley.com/radio.html
