David's Show - Headphones
As an acoustic guitar aficionado, each week on Headphones, I play the music of my favorite up-and-coming, little-known, and well-known singer-songwriters. The show also focuses on local talent and the groups and musicians who take the time to visit and play live concerts in Fairfield, at our favorite venues such as Cafe Paradiso, Morningstar Studio, Revelations Book Store, and the Old Armory.
The weekly show gives me a chance to put on some headphones, so I can enjoy these aspiring talented musicians, along with the top stars in the recording industry. In addition to folk and coffeehouse music, I also play a lot of blues and a range of other music that I hope our listening audience will enjoy as much as I do.
So, you're invited to grab a set of headphones and join me every Monday from 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon, and on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., right here on KRUU-LP, 100.1 FM, the voice of Fairfield, Iowa.
