Why KGSR? Why now? When I took this gig over three years ago, people
asked those easy-to-answer questions. Wouldn't you too jump at a chance
to work somewhere where Radiohead, Aretha Franklin and Lyle Lovett pop
up back-to-back-to-back? Hold Steady, Band Of Horses and Spoon? Check.
Or how about Patty Griffin, Iron & Wine, and Steve Earle? It's all here.
KGSR is uniquely Austin. Add fundraising efforts like Fan Fare Friday or
The Star-A-Thon, the Broadcasts CD's. Unplugged At The Grove, Blues On
The Green, and our live ACL and SXSW morning show broadcasts and you've
got a station with a unique mission- a station that sits comfortably at
the crossroads of music and community. KGSR is one of the last great
radio stations- where the DJ's drive the music and where the music
reflects the city we love. Why KGSR? Three years in, my answer has not
changed: Because it's OUR station.
Happy to be here,
Andy
