In 1978, a small radio station in the people’s republic of Boulder was born. Inspired in part by a handbook on community radio called Sex and Broadcasting, and fostered by a coalition that met in a 1973 Free School class titled “A Desperate (or Last Ditch) Attempt to Start a Radio Station,” KGNU credits locality as the secret to its longevity. “We’re live, we’re local and we try to stay close to the community. Even with more choices on the Internet and on satellite, live local community radio is closer to home,” says the station’s Sam Fuqua. Show your support tonight at KGNU’s birthday bash at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th Street in Boulder. Your $30 ticket gets you access to the genetically engineered harmonies of the O’Brien sibs and Rich Moore, all three of whom illustrate why the folk tradition endures. The show starts at 8 p.m.; tickets are available at www.bouldertheater.com or 303-786-7030.
