Vocal Chords is the weekly a cappella and vocal music show from the College of Journalism & Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The show airs/streams from 8:00-10:00 a.m. CST (-06:00 GMT) on Friday mornings, repeating in the same time slot on Sunday mornings.
Getting caught up from the last couple of weeks…
This weekend’s show featured an Arbor Day set about trees (I know, primarily a Nebraska thing…) plus an impromptu countdown of groups with numbers in their name.
Got new music you’d like to share with my audience? My full contact information is at the bottom of this playlist. The e-mail address for the show is vocalchords2@unl.edu.
