KPTZ is excited to welcome classical pianist Kevin Ayesh to the Trinity United Methodist Church on Thursday, October 24 at 7pm. Kevin’s Candlelight Concert program will feature Beethoven’s Sonata in B-flat Major, Opus 22, perhaps the most “classical” in structure of all of Beethoven’s sonatas. Brahms’ beautiful Intermezzo in A Major, Opus 118 will follow, and the program will conclude with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, in celebration of that work’s 100th anniversary.This concert is featured as a part of our Candlelight Concert series and will be simulcast on 91.9 FM KPTZ.

County Connections

(Airdate: October 18, 2024) County Commissioner Greg Brotherton and his co-host Jim Burke keep the fundraising going for “Fall In Love with KPTZ.” Greg says he will stop playing folk songs for a donation to the station of $500, to no avail, so he sings parodies of famous folk songs like “This Land is Your Land”, “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall” and the “Swimming Song.”

#252 Nathan Barnett and the Haunted Bordello

(Airdate: October 15, 2024) Maryanne interviews Nathan Barnett, the creative force behind the upcoming “return of the Haunted Bordello.” The Halloween adjacent event is on October 25 and 26. It riffs on PT’s scandalous and blood-soaked history of bordellos and sailors. Nathan describes it as “a titillating tour of a time that never was.” Part burlesque and part horror show — participants start off at a villainous “spookeasy” called “The Billy Club” (aka Bridget’s Loft). The actors skimpy costumes are R rated — not X rated. Pre-covid there was a version of The Haunted Bordello at the Old Consulate Inn, which is owned by Nathan and wife Cindy. He’s also the mastermind of PT’s Steampunk Festival, For more info go to hauntedbordello.com.
