WLOY Coffeehouse: Matt Hutchison 11/6

Tuesday, November 4th, 2014 by WLOY Staff

As a child, Matt Hutchison fell in love with The Beatles. He even spent a few years in England when he was younger. Matt’s love went as far as thinking he was Paul McCartney! (He used to sign his school papers as Paul McCartney.) Now, he’s bloomed into a wonderful artist that will be at the WLOY Coffeehouse THIS THURSDAY! If you want a little taste of what his music is like, Matt just released four free streaming tracks from his upcoming album, “Three Minute Man”, that will be released November 30.

Where: Reading Room

When: Thursday from 9:00-11:00pm

Why: Because who doesn’t love someone who loves The Beatles?

Monday, November 3rd, 2014 by WLOY Staff

Everyone looked great this Halloween, but our winner went above and beyond. Check out Katie Krzaczek and her costume on our Instagram (WLOY_radio)!

NEXT WEEK’S HASHTAG:

#wloysweaterweather.

It’s starting to get to that temperature that means you need four shirts, a jacket, and two pairs of socks to step outside. This, however, doesn’t mean the fun will stop! WLOY wants to know how you keep warm when the degree is no longer 85 and sunny. Do you layer up with our WLOY crewneck? What about making some delicious hot cocoa? Or, are you lucky enough to stand by a fire and make S’mores? You tell us! We need some ideas, because we’re getting a little chilly, too. Put #wloysweaterweather on your instas and we will learn your ways.
