It's a WIDR World than this
WIDR World
WIDR World Home New Music Not-So-New Music
Concerts, etc. International Links E-mail the Host
This is where you will be able to find out about all of the live international music within a reasonable distance of Kalamazoo, Michigan. While there is not a thriving market for international music here, we are fortunate to live close enough to Chicago, Detroit and Ann Arbor that we can borrow some of their culture.
If you know of any multi-cultural or international music event that should be posted here, please send email to jason@jasonjhall.com, so I can let WIDR World's listeners know.
For more information (and sometimes tickets!) listen to WIDR World on 89.1 FM WIDR, Kalamazoo. This page was last updated Sunday, November 25, 2007.
