Sandy Posey passed away last weekend at her home in Tennessee. youtu.be/hzCIS8fK6Ug?si…

We're sad to hear that Sandy Posey has passed away. A monumental talent, Sandy gently tore down the walls that traditionally separated girl groups, beat groups, country, and rhythm and blues to fashion a unique brand of smart, sassy, and emotionally searing pop.

Next up: Lightning Safety when you are indoors. Safe shelters are buildings with electricity and plumbing or metal-topped vehicles with the windows closed. Picnic shelters, dugouts and small buildings without plumbing or electricity are not safe. #arwx #mowx #mswx #tnwx

Severe weather is expected between 12AM-3AM overnight. With late night timing, it is very important to have a plan before you go to sleep. A tornado is not out the question, so have a safety plan ready to go if needed. Tomorrow will be dry, warm, and less humid. High: 84. /LG

"WEVL is my favorite station. And not just because they’ve been good to me (they were the first to play a cassette of homemade demos I sent decades ago) but just because they’ve been good. You can leave the dial in place because the DJs have done all the searching." -Cory Branan

I spent the best years of my life in Memphis & WEVL was the soundtrack to it. The music they played on WEVL had a big influence on the music I make now. I took this year off from touring to do things I've been meaning to do for awhile, and this is one of those things -Todd Snider
