Saturday, August 8: “Who Wants To Know” at the FrontRoom, with Rick Porter Opening
“Who Wants To Know” comes to the FrontRoom for a special fundraiser to benefit WCUW. Opening for them is Ric Porter.
Who Wants to Know delivers a joyful mixed-up gumbo of R&B, Americana, Country, and Blues. The “who” in Who Wants to Know is Arny Spielberg (guitar/vocals), Bob Sarkala (guitar), Gerry Bellegarde (bass/vocals), and Doug MacLeod (drums).
This flexible confederation of old friends and talented musicians spans decades of the Massachusetts music scene, with memorable collaborations in every genre and type of venue—from the 70s punk clubs of Cambridge, to show bands, to award-winning blues ensembles, to singer-songwriter showcases. Some members have played together steadily for more than two decades; others lost touch, then happily reconnected through crazy turns of kismet.
The opening act will be Ric Porter. Ric has been a rock-steady presence in the Central Mass music scene for nearly 50 years. From The Preston-Porter Band, as a founding member of the legendary Zonkeraz, to Sons of the Soil, to The Ric Porter Band, Ric’s approach has remained the same: “Play the stuff you love.” He will open the night with his originals, possibly joined by Bob and Arny, and likely to have the band back him on some tunes.
We here at WCUW can’t thank Arny Spielberg enough for putting together this wonderful show, with such top notch musicians, as a benefit for community radio. A heartfelt thank you to each of them for donating their time and talents to make this night possible!
Showtime: Saturday, August 8, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30. Suggested minimum donation $20 cash or Venmo. Light refreshments will be served.
The WCUW FrontRoom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.
Listen to Arny Speilberg and Ric Porter talking about their fundraiser performance.

Radio Waves: WCUW Makes Some Key Leadership Changes as Station Changes
(from Worcester Magazine, Jan 14, 2026) There have been some key staff changes behind the dial at WCUW Community Radio 91.3 FM as 2026 gets underway, including longtime executive director Troy Tyree transitioning to a new role as part-time programming director for the radio station.
“Troy has given his heart and soul to WCUW for more than 15 years as its only paid staff member,” WCUW said in a statement to the Telegram & Gazette.
Now there are three paid part-time staff. Joining Tyree are Steve Blake, who has volunteered at WCUW for many years, as general manager, and Laura Lenis as WCUW’s membership consultant.
Scott Hayman, clerk of the WCUW board of directors, said “the board credits Troy with shepherding WCUW through many of its lean times, especially COVID, and for his vision for the now very successful FrontRoom, a venue for weekly live music and Cinema Worcester … while managing all the station’s broadcasting and administration, Troy worked tirelessly to keep the 910 Main Street facility in shape on a shoestring budget.”
