Host: Ravessa
Description: Piano Piano will be a program exploring and showcasing amapiano music from South Africa and its influence around the world. The genre has become a global phenomenon and I believe Victoria needs to be introduced to and included in the beautiful and unique sounds of Amapiano, Gqom, Bacardi, and the intertwining genres out of this region. As a settler of Albanian descent on these lands, I engage with this material not as an expert, but as a passionate appreciator and enjoyer, and I would like to share my love for the music with the people of Victoria and surrounding listeners. The community and joy that this music brings people all over the world has played a significant role in these important years of my life, and it has helped me find myself. I hope the same can happen for our listeners. Whether long time amapiano fans or newcomers to the genre, they will have the pleasure of listening and digesting these types of music.

Host: Courtney

Description: Consider this show to be “rock adjacent”. You may not headbang to these songs in a smoky garage, but these sorts of eclectic, often oddball artists inspire the bands you love. Maybe the lyrics won’t make sense. Maybe there’s some uncomfortably saccharine pop thrown in the mix. Maybe there’s an off-key bicycle horn. It’s all part of the magic.

Description: Need a warm place to spend the night along a lost highway? Barrooms to Barricades highlights how a steady backbeat means you can still stand for something besides commercial gain. The show explores the relationship between the musical “counter to the counterculture” and its more progressive undercurrents that swell from time to time to lift up voices less heard. If songs by guys named Willie, either Thrasher or Nelson, are what you’re after, you might want to stay a little longer.
