Vinyl Christmas, 2024

 It's that time of the year when we dust off decades of Christmas vinyl, and play them 24/7.  These are the songs that you remember -- no Mariah Carey here (not that there's anything wrong with Mariah, but you know what I mean).

From Friday, December 20 through Thursday December 26, we will be playing nothing but Christmas music on vinyl. You'll hear Christmas classics from Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (among others). Plus some great instrumentals from the Boston Pops and Living Strings. 

We have thousands of songs - hours and hours of listening. 

Tune in and relive those retro moments. Only on Vinyl Voyage Radio.

Halloween is Here -- 2024!

Halloween is our favorite time of the year here at Vinyl Voyage Radio. Like always, we have a great selection of specials and music to bring you through your Halloween! 

And, of course, J-Bones is back with some of his great mixes!

The ghouls take over the airwaves at 1 pm (EST), playing some of the best spooky music out there. And then, we have the following specials lined up:
