Well, hey there friends! Your Americana with Jennifer Westwood has been welcomed to the WAKT FM family in Toledo, OH and streaming everywhere at toledoradio.org!
You can tune in every Friday at 7pm EST to listen to great music you don't hear on many corporate airwaves. If you are hungry for something fresh and tired of hearing the same 12 artists dominating the airwaves decade after decade, join my family. Discover regional and national acts making great music today and hear some classics that shaped our culture.
Your Americana encompasses the entire family tree of Americana - Alt-Country, Soul, Zydeco, Gospel, Funk, Bluegrass, Blues, Southern Rock and more.
A sample of some artists I've played so far:
Charley Crockett Highwomen Gary Clark Jr Elle King Travis Meadows Wild Feathers Leon Bridges Curtis Mayfield Tony Joe White Brit Taylor Band of Heathens South Austin Moonlighters Passerine Otis Redding Rhiannon Giddens Blackberry Smoke Billy Joe Shaver Cindy Lauper The Mavericks JJ Grey and Mofro Shinyribs | Blind Boys of Alabama Margo Price Ben Haper The Wood Brothers Nikki Lane Andrew Ellis Carl Bradychok Charles Bradley Rosie Flores Robbie Fulks Sarah Gayle Meech Whitey Morgan Ann Peebles Rosanne Cash Whiskey Meyers Chris Stalcup Tedeschi Trucks Galactic Chapel Hart Leroy Powell |
Yep. I'm here to preach the good news about good music and share with you, learn along the way and get some good stuff into your earballs. I hope you learn about artists to love, get out to their shows when they are visiting the region and if you hear something you don't like, It sure beats a mayonnaise sandwich.
If you want to chime in on some of my playlist themes or chat over music you can follow on Facebook for now at YOUR AMERICANA RADIO
I look forward to sharing music, stories and bonding over music... Watch for a podcast spin off later this year with extended interviews from artists, music industry pros and interesting people!
