More music from the founders Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell as well as the Heath Brothers and the Brass Company (which included Detroit's own Bernard McKinney aka Kiane Zwadi).

Tune in this Sunday, June 15, from 4:00-7:00pm EDT as we conclude our exploration of music from the STRATA EAST label that has now been remastered and reissued by Detroit's Mack Avenue Records. The program can be heard locally (Dearborn/Detroit) on 89.3 fm and worldwide via the internet at whfr.fm.

WHFR thanks our Loyal Listeners for helping to make PAWCHELLA 2025 such a great event this year!

Twenty-one animals were adopted over the weekend thanks to the extra visibility this event brings to Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit.

The two-day, feel-good festival celebrated the joy of animals, community, and second chances. Hosted at the newly expanded MaryAnn Wright Animal Adoption & Education Center, 383 attendees helped PAWCHELLA raise critical funds needed to help care for the nearly 2,500 animals cared for by Friends for Animals each year.

Many thanks to all who made this event a success, and especially to our listeners who stopped up to our WHFR tent to say hello!
