The Clockwork Cabaret
The Clockwork Cabaret is a weekly radio show hosted by the darling Davenport sisters, Emmett and Klaude, on WCOM 103.5 FM-LP in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC, every Monday at 11pm. And, you can call in to the show via the telephone at 919.929.9601.

We play the "Music o' Gears", an anachronistic style of music that will make you long for the days gone by. A wide assortment of jazz, blues, goth, folk, swing, gypsy punk, dark cabaret, steampunk, classical and other related genres.

So, pour yourself a glass of port or a nice cup of tea and give us a listen.
