KBCS switched its primary signal to High Definition (HD) Radio on Monday, December 15th

from KBCS:

This new transmitter will allow KBCS to broadcast up to 3 different program channels to anyone in the Seattle area with a HD radio receiver. Current (analog) radios will continue to receive KBCS loud and clear at 91.3 FM with no significant changes.

Head over to the Radio section of iTunes, and under the ‘Eclectic’ category, you’ll now see KBCS listed with hundreds of other stations across the globe.

Seattle Times: “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” is back at Jazz Alley

Smokey Joe just can’t stay away — and we love him for it.

“Smokey Joe’s Cafe,” a tour of the Tony-nominated Broadway revue, is returning to Jazz Alley after a well-reviewed stop there last year. The jukebox musical features 39 popular rock and R&B songs — many from the songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Hits in the revue include “On Broadway,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Stand By Me,” “Spanish Harlem,” “Love Potion #9” and “I’m a Woman.” On Broadway from 1995 to 2000, “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” is the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history.

The cast includes Ron Lucas, Tony Perry, Safiya Fredricks, Dawn Driver, Christopher Brasfield, Famicia Ward and Jonathan Victorian, with Darrius Frowner (piano), Danny Hoefer (guitar), Chris Symer (bass), Larry Holloway (bass) and Milo Petersen (drums) comprising the band.

“Smokey Joe’s Cafe” opens Wednesday and plays at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Dec. 21 at Jazz Alley, 2033 Sixth Ave., Seattle; $26.50-$28.50 (206-441-9729 or www.jazzalley.com).
