Happy Hour at the Brooks: Vinyl Voices with WYXR

Dive into the heart of music collecting with Vinyl Voices: DJs & Their Collections, a unique collaboration between WYXR 91.7 FM and Brooks Museum of Art. Modeled after a songwriters-in-the-round format, this intimate event invites three WYXR DJs to share selections from their personal vinyl collections, uncovering the stories behind the sounds.

Each DJ will take turns spinning records and sharing the personal connections that make these tracks special—whether it’s a sentimental attachment, the music journey that led them to stumble upon a rare find, or the historical context that sets the track apart. From quirky oddities to timeless classics, the evening will reveal the deep connections between music, memory, and culture.

Perfect for vinyl enthusiasts and music lovers alike, Vinyl Voices is your backstage pass to the world of record collecting, offering a deeper appreciation of the stories etched into the grooves of each record.
