Well Three Oaks has been referred to as the
"artsy haven in the middle of nowhere Michigan"
and some say that because of its "nowhere-ness,"
Three Oaks is like visiting an island... I think
of it as a cross-section between Mayberry,
Martha's Vineyard, Northern Exposure and perhaps
Sundance.
Anyway, Three Oaks is a town where an array of
interesting people comes and goes, and the
long-time locals take pride in their history,
but the fact is that new chapters are written
every day. This is the Wavelength chapter where
the folks who built a local community radio
station decided to create a music fest... you'll
see why! We have this really cool park, Dewey
Cannon Park, that just beckons a day of play on
a Midwestern summer day... shaded by trees,
located in four blocks of a very walkable funky
downtown, and the people pause to wave as the
train goes by... sounds kind of weird but you'll
know what I mean when you get here.
The station, Radio Harbor Country, has been on
the air for over five years now. We're a
non-profit so we always have funding in mind,
but a music festival??? We've talked about it
for awhile now and selfishly so, we wanted to do
something we'd enjoy. Plus we have an amazing
stable of talented folks at WRHC to draw on.
The cast of characters that host shows on WRHC
106.7FM are diverse in their interests and in
their experience -the one thing they have in
common is the passion for what they're bringing
to the community. We have talk radio shows that
range from extremely conservative to very
liberal, and music shows that border on corny to
traditional to experimental to "maybe from
another planet" but we do believe there are
folks that are out there listening! We have
poetry and literary shows and even one by
elementary school kids who read everything from
their homework to this week's lunch menu! In a
nutshell, we have something extraordinary and
unique here... please join us in keeping a good
thing going. Wavelength promises to be a very
fine day... we are loving the line-up and think
you will too! Please purchase your ticket soon!
See you in Three Oaks!
