Newsletter 2/22/2024: Mai Tai's On the Beach
Greetings WIXY Family,
We are hoping that everyone's new year has started off well and that you're ready for Spring to arrive. We are almost ready for the 2024 'Travel Season'... that is, when we pull the WIXY Mobile Music Machine out of storage and prepare for the year's upcoming events. Our events typically occur during the months that Santa and the Elves are not hard at work or running off to the beach with The Old TyeDye Guy, who is hard at work sipping on those Mai Tai's down south. Yes, he likes to rub it in as much as possible, but we'll let him get away with it so long as he brings home that warm southern sun to Northeast Ohio. In the meantime, we thank Victor Tango for covering Thursday's first shift live show.
The rest of the WIXY Crew will be coming out of hibernation soon as we get ready for our biggest event of every year - The IX Piston Powered Auto-Rama! But luckily you don't have to wait until April to see our own Lisa Jordan hosting our 'bestest' friends, The Outsiders, this coming Saturday, February 24th at the Kent Stage.
After our big show at the IX center, we're following it up with a visit to some new friends we're lucky to meet during our constant pursuit of audible bliss. We will be hosting an outdoor show on Saturday, April 20th, with the help of The Current Year Record & Tape Store in celebration of "International Record Store Day"
While we haven't yet posted any more upcoming events on the WIXY1260Online website's Happenings Section, our events are booking fast and we'll announce those as we work out the details. If you or your business/group/family, etc., would like us to bring the fun and the best music ever made to your event, visit our website's Contact Page and let's plan to rock & roll!
UPCOMING EVENTS (click on the dates for more info):
- 2/24/24: The Outsiders and Guests (hosted by Lisa Jordan)
- 4/5/24 through 4/7/2024: IX Piston Powered Auto-Rama
- 4/20/24: International Record Store Day
Remember, "Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, WIXY1260ONLINE has the most music of all!"
P.S. to the TyeDye Guy, I have some snow saved up for you *grins*

Newsletter 12/29/2023: Dead Christmas Trees
Hello WIXY Fans,
We hope your holiday season has gone well and you are all ready to ring in the new year. Here at the Larry Morrow Studios (recently dedicated to the legend himself) we've seen another year fly by. We're happy to report 2023 was a great year again for the station as our listenership continues its steady upward climb and our fans continue to increase in number. Sadly, the pretty decorations that come with the holidays are beginning to come down and it won't be long before you see a bunch of dead Christmas trees on the curb. Our own Santa (The Old TyeDye Guy) has taken the sleigh south to Florida until early Spring, and he took his studio decorations with him :-( we miss him already. Not to fear though, Victor Tango will keep his seat warm (and our Thursday 10-2 slot going) until he gets back.
Remember to follow us on Facebook, or right on our website at wixy1260online.com - your one-stop shop for all things WIXY. While we've been quiet as far as events go as of late, we're resting up and catching our collective breaths as we get ready for another year of fun events across Northeast Ohio, including the 2024 IX Piston Powered Auto-Rama (more details soon!)
We're pretty nostalgic at WIXY1260Online, (the best music still reigns supreme right here with us), but we're kinda sad to see all the holiday music and festivities go. However, we know 2024 has a lot more fun in store, so stay tuned, stay healthy, and keep spreading the good word of WIXY.
Much WIXY love and wishes for a Happy New Year ahead!
