The URI Guitar Festival started as an ambitious idea by director Adam Levin more than seven years ago. It started growing when the pandemic created a major obstacle to that growth. Levin did what all directors did. He got creative. This weekend the event launches bigger than it has ever been, stretching across multiple days. It also now includes activities and events that are learning experiences for beginners and more advanced players.
Luis Hernandez
Luis helms the morning lineup. He is a 20-year public radio veteran, having joined The Public's Radio in 2022. That journey has taken him from the land of Gators at the University of Florida to WGCU in Fort Myers to KNPR in Las Vegas and then to WLRN in Miami.
Luis sees himself as a journalist and an entertainer, which is what drives him every morning—bringing more local news to the listeners and doing it in an interesting and sometimes fun way.
He also co-hosts Artscape and hosts The Weekly Catch. In his spare time, Luis is working on a couple of novels, a couple of podcasts and is getting back into painting.
