OUT OF THE BOX                                    
with Paul Shugrue                                                                                              listen

"Out of the Box"

Definition:

1. an expression that describes things nonconformal and creative.
2.  Used as a synonym for "brand new" meaning ready-made,  immediate,  just created.

Sample sentence;

"You can hear music that is out of the box, weeknights on 89.5 WHRV-FM."



Listen to OUT OF THE BOX, Monday through Thursday night from 7 pm to 9 pm and Saturday from 1pm to 5pm and you’ll hear alternative, Americana, blues, reggae, singer/songwriters,  Celtic, Cajun, world beat, electronica, local artists and more…..all mixed together by Paul Shugrue who will keep you up to date on all the great new music that’s being released but rarely played on the radio anywhere else.

OUT OF THE BOX is truly “alternative” music right here on WHRV-FM, 89.5
