WKMS is proud to present The Alonzo Pennington Band of Princeton in performance in the dance lounge of Murray State University's Curris Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, August 22. It's a Great Beginnings event to help welcome students back to campus.
A.P.B.'s music is the soundtrack for the live broadcast, "Back to School Sounds Good" with host Tracy Ross and friends that day. During this free event, everyone's invited to hear WKMS interviews with Murray State's movers and shakers from Interim President Tim Miller to SGA President and Student Regent Jeremiah Johnson, to Head Coaches Chris Hatcher and Steve Prohm.
WKMS staff will be there with a WKMS photo booth and fun (temporary) NPR tattoos, celebrating favorite public radio programs.
