Coast Community Radio celebrates Artists invited apply for CBAA grant
National Radio Day, Lemonade Day Grant is open to visual artists, writers, performers, musicians
ASTORIA — Coast Commu-
nity Radio will celebrate Na-
tional Radio Day on Thurs-
day, Aug. 20. This event
honors radio broadcasts in
the United States. WWJ
in Detroit, Michigan, was
the first radio station in the
world to broadcast regularly
scheduled programs starting
Aug. 20, 1920. It is not an
official national holiday, but
everyone is encouraged to
participate and appreciate
the importance of radio.
The invention of the radio
dates back to the late 1800s.
One person cannot be cred-
ited with this innovation. To
make the radio a reality, it
required a number of differ-
ent inventions and discover-
ies including both transmis-
sion and reception methods
as well as technology.
To celebrate National Ra-
dio Day, listen to your favor-
ite radio station and give a

September of 2012 when they
were both playing separately
at a dive bar in Portland on the
same night. They met up about
a month later to jam and have
been playing together since.
Different musical back-
grounds have inÀuenced their
sound. To them, country music
is more about the stories behind
the songs than ¿tting into a cer-
tain mold of what country mu-
sic is supposed to sound like.
Life happens, and there al-
ways seems to be something
new to write a song about.
The inspiration behind their
music comes from the kind of
songs you put on repeat over
and over again. Writing clever
songs that resonate with peo-
ple while coming up with new
ways to approach popular top-

ics is their biggest feat.
Their motivation comes
from picturing their songs be-
ing inÀuential in the lives of
others. Music can be a voice
for people who don’t know
how to express what they’re
feeling. It’s changed their
lives, and they want to create
songs that sustain over time.
