With well over a decade behind the turntables, Evan Alexander has shared his passion for all music electronic with some of the largest names in the industry, in different countries, and even on the runways of Portland Fashion Week as Music Director. The Expressions Sessions promises to be an on-air venture every Saturday night, from 8 to 10 p.m., into that passion, featuring guest mixes from the best DJs in the region, interviews with headlining acts, event announcements, and tidbits on where to find the electronic music fix you're needing. Show debuts on January 7!
Each week, host and producer Dmae Roberts features performing, literary, and media artists from the Portland Metro area as well as around the Northwest.
As a two-time Peabody award-winning radio producer and writer, Roberts brings national quality to the local arts scene. Dmae often features her national radio work on Stage and Studio.

We will rebroadcast two holiday shows produced by Ed Mellnik of Mostly Folk (2 pm to 4 pm) and John B. Jones of Hello Cruel World (4 pm to 6 pm). Then, tune in at 6 pm for A Christmas Carol by the Willamette Radio Workshop!
The Willamette Radio Workshop presents a “live radio style” performance of Charles Dickens Christmas Carol, adapted by Cynthia McGean from the source and the Campbell Playhouse versions. The classic Christmas story of Scrooge and Tiny Tim finds it’s natural home in the radio/audio theater medium, the theater of the mind. A ghost story told to remind mankind of the perils of greed and isolation at a time of the year when our community needs more help than ever.

Record stores were the community centers for many cities and towns around the country, especially in the late ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. They were a place where community in the love of music brought people together. Friendships were made and partners in life were found as people shared their interest and love of music.
On Community Day, there will be free refreshments, special one-day deals, live music, and a variety of unique events at Music Millennium. Monday, January 2nd will be the next Community Day and will include the Songwriters’ Circle at 7:00 PM.
