Start your Monday morning with conversations centered around community improvement, remembrance, and the arts across the Riverbend.

At 9:20 AM, Pat Stewart from Pride, Inc. joins us to preview the upcoming Miles Davis Jazz Festival happening May 23, 2026. We’ll talk about the celebration of Alton’s musical legacy, what attendees can expect, and the continued impact the festival has on the community.

At 10:10 AM, Bob Baird joins the show to discuss the 21st Annual Memorial Day Sunset Ceremony at Alton National Cemetery. We’ll reflect on the meaning behind the annual tradition, the importance of honoring veterans, and the continued work being done to carry on the event following the passing of longtime coordinator Richard Baird.

At 10:35 AM, Jaynanne Calaway-Habeck from Masterpiece Arts Sanctuary NFP joins us to talk about the organization’s mission and their upcoming summer musical auditions happening Saturday, May 23.
