Ever since seeing B.B. King perform on a flatbed truck, Perdita Wexler has been hooked on music. The performance was part of the 1970 Medicine Ball Caravan Tour near Placitas, New Mexico. This passion for music was nurtured at the Thunderbird Bar as well as at Okie’s, the Civic Auditorium, the Pit and Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque. Radio deejays, record store clerks and her own family’s diverse musical tastes also played a role in her love of music. She is a big supporter of local, live music. She has lived in Alaska, Colorado, Mississippi, Washington and Macedonia, yet always finds her way home to New Mexico. Perdita is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring music to the airwaves as one of the hosts of Folk Routes. Email Perdita
