The Poet

Respecting the classics while sharing the odd and unexpected musical gift. If the music you love doesn't occasionally move you to tears, do you really love it? I play what I love and spin lots of new artists and albums. I'm currently grooving on the Crane Wives, Bartees Strange, Vijay Iyer, Terence Blanchard, Arlo Parks, and the Glass Animals. I would describe my setlists as a slow simmer, punctuated by the odd apoplectic shift. Lend me your ears.

Support for WYCE comes from St. Cecilia Music Center, presenting Michigan-based singer/songwriter Joshua Davis on Thursday, April 27th, at 7:30pm as part of the Acoustic CafÃ© Folk Series.

Davis has explored the common thread connecting folk, blues, jazz, ragtime and country to create his own sound. He has become a Michigan folk staple. His latest album The Way Back Home, is his first album since appearing as a finalist on NBC's "The Voice" in 2015.

Tickets and more information are available at SCMC dash online dot org or at St. Cecilia Music Center, located 24 Ransom Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids.
