Like a Rolling Stone…
The history: The Rolling Stones, a British rock group, formed in 1962. They drew on Chicago blues stylings to create a unique vision of the dark side of post-1960s counterculture. No rock band has sustained consistent activity and global popularity for so long a period as the Rolling Stones, still capable, more than 50 years after their formation, of filling the largest stadia in the world.
The program: An all-day music and fundraising special only at WPKN 89.5 FM and streaming at WPKN.org

Music has always been front and center for me. It’s beyond therapeutic.

I first started doing shows at WPKN early in 1973. It is truly an honor to be back and part of WPKN, now more than forty years! There are remarkable people who have graced our airways (many of which I now think of as family), and listeners who are just as remarkable, and just as much family to me.
Thank you for continuing to listen.

Kevin Gallagher likes to dig. Ask him to tell you about his life, and don’t be surprised if he digs up a tale about traveling the world with the Eurythmics or that he’s been digging WPKN since he became a DJ in 1972.

I’m a child of the early sixties who grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, a scrappy town that reminds me in many ways of Bridgeport, which has been my home base since 2015. With the help of my two older sisters, we grew up together in the 1960s, the most exciting and adventurous decade for music in our lifetimes.
