WPFW 89.3FM 
Musical guests connected with the labor movement. 
Hosted by Sandra Butler-Truesdale.

“If there is one woman that D.C. has love for, it's got to be vocalist Pam Parker. The chanteuse blends Billie's precision with Aretha's brand of soul. Parker's been using her perfect, classic voice to lure in crowds in the area for years — it's the combination of sweet tone, spot-on vibrato and something hauntingly reminiscent of jazz singers of old that makes seeing her live addictive.” – Express Night Out

Pam also has one of the prettiest voices in the union and social justice communities. She is a journeyman union electrician.who has performed for many different unions and causes from an early age.

​
Part story-telling, part song, and part stand-up political comedy, Baltimore-based Ryan Harvey presents kaleidoscopic narratives of political history and personal stories aimed at moving the listener to act on serious issues effecting the world today. Long blending music and activism, in 2015 Ryan launched Firebrand Records with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello to support fellow politically-charged musicians. A year later he recorded the previously unfinished Woody Guthrie song “Old Man Trump” with Morello and Ani DiFranco, which Guthrie penned while living in a segregated apartment complex owned by Donald Trump’s father Fred. Last year Ryan released a two-part album with Kareem Samara and Shireen Lilith called “Thin Blue Border,” which blends American and Arabic protest folk music. He has taken his powerful performances around the world for almost two decades. Find out more at ryanharveymusic.com
