WVIA presents annual coverage of the Delaware Water Gap Celebration of the Arts.

The Celebration of the Arts (COTA) is a non-profit, all-volunteer festival in Delaware Water Gap, PA. Each year, COTA highlights the remarkable wealth of world-class jazz talent residing or having connections to the Poconos. WVIA has been providing coverage of the festival's music, along with interviews and commentary, since 1997.

Produced and hosted by George Graham, the COTA coverage was presented in 10 programs, Monday through Friday during WVIA's All That Jazz from December 4-9 and December 11-15, 2023.

For the first time ever, the coverage is also available on-demand on-line following the radio broadcasts. In addition, six web-stream-only performances from the Deer Head Inn are also available on demand.

About George Graham

One of the first staff members at WVIA. Produces and hosts Mixed Bag, All That Jazz and Homegrown Music on WVIA Radio, and the Homegrown Music Concerts on WVIA-TV.

Graham was the first employee of WVIA Radio, and has been on the WVIA staff since 1972. A native and resident of Carbondale, PA, he is a magna cum laude graduate of Duke University, where he majored in electrical engineering. He joined the WVIA staff in connection with the studio design and construction of WVIA-FM, but with his four years of on-air experience at the Duke University radio station, he immediately moved into on-air work. He sought to bring the kind of eclectic contemporary music radio programming that marked student radio at Duke (where he was program director) in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

He introduced Mixed Bag, which has become purportedly the longest continuously-running program of what is now called "album adult alternative" music in the country. Graham introduced Homegrown Music, a program to spotlight talented regional artists in performances from the station's studio. The series has been running continuously as a weekly series since 1976, and includes weekly recording session broadcasts, and monthly live concerts performed before a studio audience.

He also hosts WVIA's All That Jazz, and presents extensive annual radio coverage of the region's jazz festivals from Delaware Water Gap and Scranton. Graham has written for regional publications, and also works as a free-lance recording engineer, producer and mastering engineer.
