Let’s Dance! Keep those donations coming. Please
And Thank You!

Don’t Stop The Dance because we can dance if we want to! A joyous thank you and goosebumps all around for Tom Ryan and Sean Buchanan tag-teaming it tonight to get us beyond $33k raised! It really does take two (RIP Rob Base).

Fun fact: Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins (and former Rochester Red Wing!) was the last MLB player to hit for the cycle in July 2025. And now WBER has done it in May 2026. You all helped us round the bases and knock it out of the park! Thank you, listeners, for your persistence and perseverance all day to not only hit for the cycle of mini goals but to blast them to smithereens to get us to another major Piebald marker, grab hold of 38% of the spring goal, and speed way past 350 total donations. It truly was a team effort today and we’re so grateful!

Tomorrow starts another Fundraiser Friday, so let’s keep that momentum going. If you’re like all of us in the WBER family and life without BER is like life without breathing, and you’d like to help raise WBER’s on base percentage with a donation big or small to the Spring Fundraiser, go to wber.org to find out how you can lend a hand. We’d love to play a song request for you as a thank you, but you can also leave it up to the DJs if you like surprises.

Tune in to 90.5 FM to hear more music you love from the people who love to play it for you.

🚨 Fundraiser Mini Goal Special Report 🚨

Good news, everybody! We’ve hit Piebald milestone #29 this weekend and are over 33% of the way towards our spring goal! We recommend celebrating by listening to Gin Blossoms’ “29” or The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Thirty-Three”. Or keep it traditional with Piebald’s “American Hearts” because hey, you’re part of it!

The Specials have announced the band’s next — and final — music release. Recorded during their emotional 2019 run of shows at Coventry Cathedral, 'The Specials: Live From The Cathedral' will arrive on July 10 via Island Records.

The band described the four-night residency as “more than just concerts,” calling them some of the most memorable and emotional performances they ever played. The recordings also serve as a tribute to late frontman Terry Hall:

“They were some of the most memorable and emotional shows we have ever played, and these recordings serve as a fitting tribute to, and celebration of, our wonderful and brilliant friend Terry.”

The release will be available in multiple physical formats, including an exclusive 3LP edition featuring fan-submitted photos from the shows, as well as a 6CD box set containing full recordings from three of the four nights at the Cathedral.

To mark the announcement, “Gangsters: Live From the Cathedral” is now streaming, while the album is officially available for pre-order.

Fundraiser Friday! Let’s keep chipping away!

Mini dance party for all the mini goal success. We’ve surpassed $27k and we’ve raised 31% of our goal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

If you have the ways and means and you’d like to get in on all the mini goal magic, tune into 90.5 FM to listen for them, and then click on wber.org for all the ways to donate. If it’s not the right time financially to give, there are lots of other ways for you to make a big difference this fundraiser. Engage with WBER online and help the algorithms. Create your own posts with your own flair. Talk up the station to all the people in your orbit. Wear your BER swag and paraphernalia everywhere - out getting gas, grocery shopping, at your kids’ school activities, that next festival or show.

Day 21 of the Spring Fundraiser was another banner day for listener messages and donation requests. James’ “Sit Down (Apollo 440 Remix)” being a huge hit with listeners after being added to the database was a nice surprise and proof that It’s always the right time to discover something new, even for WBER. More people from the BER universe brought their support yesterday with former DJ Narina Schultz giving a donation. With listener Mike Rhoda’s jukebox jury pick, maybe there’ll be enough interest to bring JBJs back some day.

It’s another Fundraiser Friday today. Keep that dial or internet stream locked. It should be a good one!
