I've had good luck with Pandora. I've heard others claim it plays the same stuff over and over, but I think what's key is to tweak the stations you create buy using the thumbs up and down or the "I'm tired of this song"…

KEXP is best for this on Thursday nights, 6-9 (Pacific) for Swinging Doors which is a decent mix of older familiar country, modern classic country acts, and alt-country. There's also the Roadhouse on Wednesday nights 6-9 which is largely all…

Shooter Jennings, June 25th Snoqualmie Casino

After a torturous weekend of listening to a gawdawful Seattle mainstream country radio station I won tickets to Shooter Jenning's June 25th show at Snoqualmie Casino. (The station giving away the tickets made a big deal about the give away but never played a single Shooter Jennings song all weekend.)Apparently Shooter's no longer a solo artist but is the front for a band called Hydropump or Heffalump or something like that. They played a lot of new material from Heffalump. It’s essentially…See More

Hey S.J. - thanks for joining the group and leaving a comment. I definitely have an idea of what a country music show should sound like and am glad you agree. You don't strike me as someone shy with feedback - which is a good thing in this world - so, feel free to share, and let me know if you want to hear something I'm missing. Thanks for listening!
