WBFC 103.7 FM out of Ringgold, GA, will feature the inaugural one-hour “Sacred Sounds Fridays” radio show Wednesdays, April 2 and April 9 at 9 p.m. and Fridays, April 4 and April 11 at 9 a.m. Show emcee Franks, “Officer Randy Goode” from TV’s “In the Heat of the Night,” will also host the monthly radio broadcast.

“This is a wonderful chance for our station to further enhance our locally-produced content for our listeners,” said Jim Price, station manager.

The first program will feature special performances live from the Ringgold, GA Depot by The Greesons who appeared in concert in March as well as some archival performances by The Marksmen Quartet, Barney Miller, Southern Sound Quartet, Testimony Quartet, and youth performers the Calvary Strings and Deborah Taylor, 2007 Pearl and Floyd Franks Scholarship designee from Catoosa County.

Sacred Sounds Fridays is a monthly concert series at the Ringgold, GA Depot. The shows are fundraisers for the Pearl and Floyd Franks Scholarship Fund. The Share America Foundation, Inc., a Georgia non-profit, presents scholarships to talented musicians who excel in the Appalachian musical arts. The next Sacred Sounds Fridays concert is Friday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ringgold Depot featuring soloists Jerry Trammell, Bill Stobaugh, and Shelia and Lindzy Reed. Admission is a $5 donation.

“This program will allow us to share more about our scholarship program and all that we are doing to help young people who continue the Appalachian musical traditions,” Franks said.
