Kaleidoscope

It's an evening of firsts as Kaleidoscope broadcasts its first show from the new WYSO studios.  Tim Pritchard and the Boxcar Suite (Tim Pritchard, Phil Caviness, Tony Moore and Trevor Bell) are the evening's guests performing the first live set in the new building ahead of their first public performance at Side Show 7 on May 12, 2012 at the Yellow Cab Building in downtown Dayton.  The band performs an acoustic set and previews songs from their album, set to be released in late May.

Dayton Fashion Week is more than just a week.  It's quickly grown into a year-round organization devoted to both helping promote fashion in the Miami Valley and making Dayton a better place through volunteerism.  Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt spoke Dayton Fashion Week Operations Directors and WYSO Community Voices Producer Caressa Brown, along with two of the model in the Fashion Week cover model contest, Jessica Ennis and Megan Krug. 

This Saturday, April 21st is Record Store Day around the world, and in the Miami Valley there are many Record Store Day activities that go beyond shopping.  At the helm of the celebrations is Ghettoblaster Magazine, run in part locally.  Ghettoblaster managing editor and co-publisher, David Obenour joins Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt in the studio to talk about the magazine and its role in this year's festivities, which include a special showing of Empire Records at the Neon Movies.

The Buffalo Killers make a return visit to Kaleidoscope ahead of their Record Store Day performance on April 21st at Omega Music in downtown Dayton. 

What started off as a short video for his church turned into a feature length documentary project for Shane Pergrem.   Here Pergrem discusses the process of making The Almond Tree, his first feature film and where the process has taken him as an artist.  He's joined by longtime friend Ricky Terrell of Starving in the Belly of the Whale, who composed the soundtrack to the Almond Tree. Terrell talks about scoring the film and shares several live and recorded songs.
