We’ve got an Open Stream day today, giving you hours of our extensively eclectic musical collection with absolutely no commercial interruption. The Music Mermaid is fully in charge and who knows what she’ll do. She could actually even chose a playlist, or a trifecta, or she could just choose to let our file of 30,000 songs run free and wild. You won’t know unless you tune us in!
The button is, of course, below.
Good morning, workers, and welcome to The Mermaid Lounge! We’ve got a great lineup today sprinkled in between all that big, wide Open Stream. Read on for details!
Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:
We start off with a couple of hours of artists who had one hit only (not one song), like The Amboy Dukes, Brenton Wood, The Easybeats, Los Bravos, Mason Williams, Merilee Rush, Richard Harris, Robert Knight, The McCoys, The Standells, Strawberry Alarm Clock and more!
This afternoon we put Jeff Lynne ‘In The Spotlight’ with his music from The Move, the leader of Electric Light Orchestra, and as Otis, a founding member of the best damned supergroup on the planet, The Traveling Wilburys.
We close out the day’s programming with The Doors live from Motor City, just two months before Jim Morrison’s untimely death.
We’re back for another work week and we’ve got a lot of big, wide Open Stream to start it off! Remember, we’re free with absolutely no commercial interruption, and we’re never off air. We’re all about the music.
Good morning, musicologists and welcome to Thursday. We head for the weekend with music from across the pond, Simon & Garfunkel ‘Spotlight’ and live Clapton & Winwood.

Two musical legends join forces for one great concert stint at Madison Square Garden. We’ve got it for you tonight.
Here we are again headed for the weekend. Thankfully, I might add. We’ll get you there in fine form. Just see for yourself. It’s free and effortless. The button is below. Just use it.
Good morning, weekenders! We’ve got a fine lineup in The Lounge today with our ‘Ode To Morning’ EP, Jeff Lynne’s ELO live in London and a Bob Dylan ‘Spotlight’ feature!

The other day we started with songs about the night.

Today they’re called Jeff Lynne’s ELO and rightly so. They just went on their farewell tour. If I were still attending big venue events, I’d have seen them in Boston. I’m not. But I’ve seen them twice before and they never disappoint. Today we have them live from the Paris Theatre in London.
Singer, songwriter, poet, Nobel Prize Winner and veteran of 60 years in the music business, we put Bob Dylan ‘In the Spotlight’ tonight to close out our programming.
Another bleak, rainy day here but we really need it. Massachusetts has been under a fire watch for weeks now, so there’s no complaining. Besides, we’ve got the best music on the planet. Great day to tune us in. The button is below.
Good morning, weekenders! It’s the long Labor Day Weekend and we’ve got a great start in store as we open it up with our ‘Ladies Day Out’ multi-artist EP!

You’ll hear one great band led by one musical genius this afternoon in a performance in the iconic Winterland Ballroom.
A great folk music duo that sometimes falls through the cracks, but shouldn’t. Ian and Sylvia also became pioneers in country-rock after they moved to Nashville.
We begin the weekend in style today and we’re in holiday mood right through Monday! We’re on 24/7 for your listening pleasure at no cost to you and with no commercial interruption to break the flow. See for yourself. The button’s below.
Good morning, music lovers! Today we keep it decidedly British with our first live Who performance, our ‘British Are Coming’ EP and a Spotlight featuring the great Jeff Lynne.
Here’s your musical journey for today:
This is our very first ‘live’ Who performance and it won’t be our last as we broaden our horizons. This was an amazing show, played in the rain, on their Who Rocks America Tour in support of their album It’s Hard. It was also billed as their final tour.
Music from The British Invasion and beyond with The Who, The Beatles, Dave Mason, Electric Light Orchestra, Petula Clark, The Zombies, The Hollies, Dusty Springfield, Small Faces, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five, The Bee Gees, The Moody Blues, Rod Steward, George Harrison, Them, Herman’s Hermits, The Rolling Stones, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Badfinger, The Yardbirds, Traffic, Elton John, Lulu, Pink Floyd, Yes, The Animals and more!
He’s not just the genius behind Electric Light Orchestra (as if that wasn’t enough), he began his career with The Move. He was also the esteemed Otis Wilbury, co-founder of The Traveling Wilburys along with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. Let’s not forget that he’s a solo artist and a producer for many artists, including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. That’s what I call a great resume.
I can’t say it enough, so I’ll keep it simple. We’re on 24/7. We’re free. See for yourself. The button’s below.
Good morning, weekenders! It is here and we are loaded with great music today. We hope you get a chance to join us.

Tonight we feature the first successful band for Motown Records, led by one of the best singer-songwriters in the business, Smokey Robinson. There is no doubt that this band has stood the test of time.
As always, it’s a great day to tune us in. We’re here 24/7 and we’re totally free. We’re also totally free from commercial interruption. We’re all about the music.
Good morning, citizens! Today we’ve got the pioneers from Laurel Canyon, Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra, and the love songs of The Beatles.

We could not completely walk away from Valentines Day without this playlist. The Beatles were masters of the love song, and we’ve got them for you this evening.
Well, gang, we’re over the hump and on the downslide to another weekend. We’ll help you get there in musical style with some old music and some new additions! Tune us in. Just use the button below.
Here we are again in The Lounge on another simple Sunday. We have plenty of wide Open Stream today with a couple of great pieces of programming thrown in.
Here’s your musical lineup:
Eldorado, the fourth studio album by ELO, was also their very first complete ‘concept’ album, with the idea written by Jeff Lynne before he wrote any music. The influence of The Beatles is prevalent throughout the album and, of course, Jeff Lynne would go on to make music with various members of The Beatles during the 1980’s and 1990’s. You can read all about it here.
Today we give you songs about color in the title, lyrics or both. It’s open stream with a theme, and you’ll hear The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Donovan, Booker T & The MG’s, Electric Light Orchestra, Procol Harum, Joni Mitchell, The Who, Amy Winehouse, Sam & Dave, Badfinger, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, The Hollies, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Cream, Marvin Gaye, Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt, J.D. Souther, Linda Ronstadt and more!
We’re here all day spinning tunes for you without commercial advertising of any kind and without asking you for a credit card or personal information. We are all about the music.
