Art(s) on the Air (Dec 6, 2023) plays Matt Eckstine and The Maxines

Happy holiday season! We’re celebrating with a special show of music by some of Savannah’s beloved local musicians.

First, Matt Eckstine, voted Best Local Americana/Folk/Roots Band/Artist in Connect Savannah’s “Best of 2022” awards. Harnessing a wide range of influences from Tom Petty and Jack Johnson to Steve Earle and James Taylor, Matt released his debut solo album in 2017. In 2020, the mandatory quarantine provided him with an opportunity to move to a home studio, resulting in “Lil’ Blue,” 8 brand new tracks that vary in sound and feel but are grounded in their influence. We’re playing 9 of his songs, most of which are from that album, plus a few older ones.

Then after our station break, switching the vibe up! We’re playing music by The Maxines, an all-female rock band led by AJ Grey on vocals, with Emma Smith on bass, and twins Coco and Maddie Oke on drums and guitar. With angsty, swoon-worthy guitar riffs and moody vocals paired with powerful performances, their mesh of grunge rock and metal speaks for itself. Listen here to 6 songs from their debut album “Skin Tight” – named after the first song they ever wrote – just released on October 1 of this year.
