The Alt-Country Show
The Alt-Country show began in 2007, when (host) Emily Smith set out to find bands similar to Wilco, Old 97s, Silver Jews and local groups she'd come to love in her home state of Florida (The Heathens, Band Marino, The Ones to Blame). Over time, she became adept at seeking music and curating playlists full of artists from across the globe. Tune in monthly for the best in alt-country, honky-tonk, Americana, roots, cosmic country, folk, blues... Plus, you'll hear interviews, get tour updates, and keep up with the latest news! The Alt-Country Show puts your terrestrial country station to shame.
