While keeping our distance and protecting others during week #6 of COVID-19, the
“Alhambra Theater & Dining” continues to be a model establishment in Jacksonville,
Florida. Prayerfully the disease will be
slowing down soon, but in the meantime, read what the managing partner has to
say this week and what delectable items are being offered this week; and don’t
forget to enjoy the Quarantunes on their YouTube channel.
Good Afternoon!
Another week of staying safe at home is in the books! Is it just me or are we
adjusting to this new normal? The best
news is perhaps the beaches being open, so we can get some fresh air sunshine. Our fingers are crossed that it's a sign of
progress.
I'm so pleased that our Alhambra Dining To-Go program is being well-received. If you've been one of our regulars, we really
appreciate your support. If you haven't
tried us yet, then now is as good a time as any. Chef Dejuan has a great menu cooked up for the
week, and our staff is always grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve
you! With so many people coming back
again and again, it tells me we're doing something right.
Your feedback is important to us. Please
do not hesitate to reach out if you see something that needs fixing, and if you
find something you love please tell your friends.
Warmly,
Craig

WJCT has announced the launch of the Jacksonville Music Experience, a new
multi-platform collection of services, on April 16, 2020 — the inaugural Public Radio Music Day,
designated by Congressional Resolutions to recognize the role that local,
noncommercial, nonprofit, public radio stations play in connecting artists with
communities around the nation.
Through the Jacksonville Music Experience (wjct.org/jaxmusic),
WJCT provides music fans in Northeast Florida and beyond with a variety of ways
to enjoy their favorite artists and discover new genres on the air, online, on
demand and in person. Elements of the Jacksonville Music Experience include:
New Radio Stations Available 24/7: All available at wjct.org and on the WJCT app:
Classical 24® from American Public Media (89.9 HD2) Anthology a
hand-curated playlist of music from the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s (89.9 HD3).
Electro Lounge Radio expands WJCT’s flagship music program into a full
station of relaxing, downtempo and chillout music (89.9 HD4); also available
through Spotify and Apple Music playlists.
Music Thursdays on WJCT-TV: Every Thursday starting at 8 p.m., WJCT-TV
broadcasts a curated selection of music programming from PBS, ranging from live
concert performances including legendary musicians like Billie Eilish,
documentaries like “Country Music” by Ken Burns, series like Austin City
Limits, in-depth interviews with artists and more.
Studio 5 Sessions:Following a format similar to NPR Music’s Tiny Desk
concert series, Studio 5 Sessions features Northeast Florida artists performing
some of their most popular works from WJCT’s very own Studio 5.
The VOIDCAST Podcast: In partnership with Void Magazine, this podcast
explores the past and present of music history in Northeast Florida with the
help of local musicians, producers and the people who lived through it. Hosted by Void Magazine Editor Matt Shaw and
produced by WJCT’s Special Projects Producer, Lindsey Kilbride, VOIDCAST’s
three episodes feature the Allman Brothers Band’s formative period in
Jacksonville; locals making music alone in their bedrooms — including one who
scored a big record deal; and women and queer people claiming their space in
the Northeast Florida hip-hop scene. All
three episodes are available for download on all major podcast platforms.
Live Performances at the WJCT Virtual Soundstage: The WJCT Virtual
Soundstage allows music lovers to experience live performances from artists all
over Northeast Florida without ever leaving their house. Performances from local artists like Taylor
Roberts, Junco Royals and Luke Peacock were scheduled at 7 p.m. that started
April 16th. in celebration of the launch. For information about scheduled performances,
join the JME Facebook
Group
Live Performances at the WJCT Soundstage: The WJCT Soundstage provides a
unique setting for music fans to experience live performances by regional and
national touring artists. Now on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, recent
WJCT Soundstage events included performances by The Rippingtons, Mindo Abair
and the Boneshakers, Jesse Cook, and comedian Paula Poundstone. Details about upcoming performances will be
posted as they are available. For more
information, visit wjct.org/jaxmusic.
“Jacksonville has such a vibrant music scene and we want to support it and
be part of it in every way we can” said David McGowan, President and CEO of
WJCT. “The launch of the Jacksonville
Music Experience is a significant expansion of our locally curated and produced
music services, and provides a compelling alternative to the algorithms and
tiny playlists of today’s commecial radio. It also makes for a great way to discover
music and artists alongside Spotify and other digital services.”
