Good morning, music lovers! We’re on a big, wide Open Stream day today as we prepare for the winter here in The Mermaid Lounge, working on new programs and the like.
It’s as simple as that! Unprogrammed, uninterrupted open stream music from our library of 27,000 songs all day. The button is below.
Good morning, Weekenders, and welcome to Saturday in The Lounge. We’ve got a great lineup today and we’re starting off ‘Under the Influence’.

The heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac, from our perspective here in The Lounge. However, Christine McVie started out in the British blues scene. Before joining Fleetwood Mac she was in Chicken Shack. She was also the legendary Christine Perfect (her maiden name). Today we give you her music from all three phases of her musical life.
Emmylou Harris has always managed to surround herself with the best possible bands from the very beginning: The Hot Band, The Nash Ramblers, Chris Hillman’s Desert Rose Band, and Spyboy. The Daniel Lanois Band does not break that streak.
We’re here 24/7 in the best of times and the darkest of times. We’re free. We’re not tracking anyone and we’re not selling you a bunch of crap. Or a subscription, for that matter. The button is below.
Good morning, music lovers, and welcome to Friday. We’re on track for some great music today. There is no EP running, so there’ll be plenty of big, wide Open Stream in between!

Haven’t aired this one for a bit. What do all three bands have in common? The legendary Steve Winwood, of course!
Shawn Colvin may well have her feet firmly planted in folk, but she’s got the knack for crossing over into the blues, country and good old rock n’ roll.
