David BUSKIN & Robin BATTEAU “Radio B & B”
Alternating Fridays, 3PM – 6PM
Singer-songwriters David Buskin and Robin Batteau evoke a wide range of emotions in their audiences, ranging from light-hearted amusement at “ESPN” or the pun-filled “Death in Venice” to a gentle sense of loss expressed by their beautiful ballad for the late Kate Wolf, “Never Cry Wolf”. As professional jingle writers, Buskin and Batteau’s voices and tunes have been heard in almost every American household. They’ve had us listening “to the heartbeat of America”, living “in a Burger King Town” and climbing “all aboard Amtrak”. As WPKN programmers they bring a deep love of old folk and new folk and many other genres as well.
