WNCW is sad to report the passing of Weaverville/Swannanoa singer/songwriter Malcolm Holcombe. He died Saturday from respiratory failure. We have many treasured memories of him from his 15 (at least) live Studio B sessions, and 18 albums of brilliant songs.

Every Friday from 6-9pm, join us for the 'Cosmic American Music Show', followed by 'The Rhythm Theorem' with R&B, Soul, & Funk, and 'Frank (Zappa!) on Friday' from 11-Midnight.
