Songwriters Nathan Kalish and Michael Riley were the in-studio guests, with the premiere of new tracks and a look back at some Jammie-nominated music from 2016. Listen to the full podcast.
Back on the Road: Before going back on tour, Nathan Kalish spent time in Grand Rapids and at Local Spins on WYCE.
West Michigan singer-songwriter Nathan Kalish is certainly one of the region’s most-traveled artists, and over the past year, he’s crisscrossed the country pretty much on his own.

He returned home over the holidays, not only performing on-air during the Jan. 6 edition of Local Spins on WYCE along with fellow Grand Rapids songwriter Michael Riley, but also hosting the first-ever “GR Song Swap” that same night at Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grill. As he put it, the songwriter-in-the-round event was designed to get folks to really listen to the music that he and his musical friends have created.
