Summary: <p>You’re listening to Ithaca Is Music, the stories behind the songs. We’re exploring the local music scene here in Ithaca, New York. Located in the Finger Lakes and home to Cornell University, this small town is full of talented musicians. We intend to ask them questions about their craft and have them perform in front of our live audience.</p> <p></p> <p>This week we bring you Thru Spectrums, a 7-piece funk band guaranteed to get your toes tapping and hips shaking. Since this is Episode 1 of Ithaca Is Music, I’d like to take a minute to tell you about our format. As we welcome artists to the stage they will perform four songs:</p> <p>• The first song they wrote or performed with their current band. <br> • The song they identify as their greatest achievement or most inspirational moment as an artist <br> • The song their fans identify them with them or their most popular song <br> • And finally a new song or a song they would like to debut on our show.</p> <p>Then the artists will take over the stage and perform the rest of their set.</p> <p>This week’s episode is sponsored by: Lime – your ride anytime.
