Live from Selma!

WPKR is on the air and live from the Carneal ArtsRevive building in Selma, Alabama!

The Dill Pickers ramped up the roll of the Alabama River last weekend

 with their lively rendition of an old-time radio show.

 The performance was part of the Alabama Tale-Tellin' Festival. 

They will return next year, so come on down!

This year's festival features Wanda Johnson, who tells about growing up in Alabama; Bill Lepp, five-time winner of the West Virginia Liars contest; and The Dill Pickers, a string band from Birmingham.
