Songs from the Second Floor is a collection of the ephemeral performances that occur live on the air, in one take, on 88.1 WYCE. This video series is produced by GRTV in collaboration with WYCE and The Rapidian in order to capture and archive these rare moments.

Ireland-native Brendan Loughrey visited Grand Rapids recently for a performance of original and traditional Irish tunes at Quinn & Tuites Irish Pub. But earlier that afternoon, he also made a stop into WYCE. Here is one of those songs.
