WBCQ/The Planet airdate - 7/13/24

Welcome to Fluxedo Junction! Each episode we bring you the best music of all genres from throughout the world, and this week we’ll be speaking with Jim Faith - the Founder and Producer of the Great South Bay Music Festival that takes place this year at Shorefront Park In Patchogue NY from July 18th through July 21st and features an amazingly diverse line up of artists including Joe Bonamassa, Jim Messina, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, Pepper, Streetlight Manifesto, Dark Star Orchestra, The Disco Biscuits, Jon Anderson Of Yes, Justin Hayward Of The Moody Blues, and Martin Barre Of Jethro Tull among many many others.

Jim Faith has been a fixture of the New York music scene since his days as a musician, but in more recent years he's not only revitalized the arts and culture profile of Long Island through his work with the festival, but also has a cofounder of The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame. He was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Musical Arts from Five Towns College in 2021, and his work on behalf of several charities has improved the quality of life on Long Island significantly.
