Beautiful Mess: Rebooted

Beautiful Mess returns as "Beautiful Mess: Rebooted!" The show will feature country, folk, and bluegrass music from the 1960s to today and will share music from a variety of artists from Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn to Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. Beautiful Mess has always had its roots in '90s country and then goes from there, based mostly on listener requests. The show begins each week with "Beautiful Mess" by Diamond Rio.

Catnap

A show devoted to extraordinary female vocalists across genres, with a subtle leaning toward alternative performances from the '90s.

@8 pm w/Frank - Female Vocalists

France Feedback

Dedicated to French music, both popular and more specialized varieties. Half the show features adult standards and music that would blend in well on the Heights, except exclusively from France, in French, or covers of French music. The other half either focuses on a specific genre or artist that wouldn't fit in the first part of the show or that offers a playful theme. Listeners will hear lore about the songs and their context, relevant news and culture from France, and information about composers, artists, and how France and its music impacts the world.

@10 pm w/Pierre - French Music
