Asheville FM hosts dozens of weekly shows that run the gamut of musical styles and tastes (you name it, they've got it). But don't take our word for; take theirs. Xpress brings you this weekly feature — direct from the DJs — highlighting a few of the station's stellar offerings. www.ashevillefm.org.
Comedians Michele Scheve and Kelly Row are throwing a party. It's got games, music and great conversations; and everyone is invited. Featuring a cast of regular characters each week, Michele and Kelly's Slumber Party is open to any and all subjects, exploring health, spirituality, romance and much, much more.
Michele says the the name is meant to convey an all night get together with games and childlike enthusiasm. Kelly just likes to work in her pajamas.
Longtime friends, the pair currently host the Slice of Life Comedy series at Pulp Lounge, located below The Orange Peel. They attribute much of their success to a positive attitude, love of meeting new people and the shear fun of throwing parties twice a month. It's this same attitude they bring to the airwaves.
Although they've been playing around on the air since Oct. 3, the first official Slumber Party, with all the bells and whistles, airs Nov. 7. Call in and join the party.
Michele and Kelly's Slumber Party airs Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. Photo by Max Cooper.
