Matt
& Shannon Heaton Radio Page: These are some of the
people who move our music—and our type of music—forward.
These top tier hosts are VERY knowledgeable about folk/traditional
music. Many of them are terrific musicians themselves.
These Radio Hosts honor us by sharing our music with listeners;
and they inspire us with their inventive Playlists.
We tune in to their shows, sometimes in real time (though, conveniently,
so many of our favorite shows are also archived). Check ‘em
out, and let us know your favorites!
(And check back, as new shows are added all the time.)
