LISTEN TO A REPLAY (BELOW) 

“THE TRIP” with Matt Mania | WRIU Tuesdays 3-6 pm

“Matt doesn’t perform on his show, though — just respectfully and reverently plays tracks, and chimes in about them from time to time. He’s a man of few words both on the mic and off, which is no doubt one of the attractions of the blues for him. Recall that James Brown once bent the blues form into a tune that had but a single word in its lyric: “Please”.

Matt’s show The Trip plays Tuesdays 3-6pm on WURI (90.3), Rhode Island, but in the almost certain event that you are not IN Rhode Island, the WURI website, where the show is streamed live and archived is wuri.org.”
