The Red Jacket Jamboree

The show is currently produced/recorded at RPM's WRJX Studio inside the Keweenaw Storytelling Center, which is located in a historic Woolworth's building in downtown Calumet.

In addition to introducing the show, Dorey takes place in sketches, conducts interviews with guests and sings on occasion.

In addition to hosting and sharing his original poetry, Achatz occasionally ends the show by performing, "Radio, I Miss You So" with the Copper Cats.

Under the direction of guitarist Jerry Younce, the band includes Bill Carrothers on piano, Harry South on bass.

Percussionists have included: Travis Aukerman, Carrie Biolo, Zach Ott, Jonathan Taylor and Devin Drobka.

The introduction usually begins with the phrase "recorded in the Keweenaw Peninsula, in front of a live audience, it's The Red Jacket Jamboree."

Following the opening tune, Host Lena Dorey and Martin Achatz, share local news and reflect on the topic of the episode.

The main segments include: Featured person or place within the Keweenaw Peninsula; "Madame Blanc," "911 in the 906," "Time Traveler."

Madame Blanc is a no-nonsense woman who has immigrated to the Copper Country to help solve mysteries of a historical nature.

She operates the fictional "Copper Top Detective Agency" from the fifth floor of the Jutila building in Hancock, Michigan.
