Torch and Twang

Tuesdays 8 P.M. – Midnight 

Progressive Torch & Twang is unlike any country radio show you’ve heard before. You won’t find the over-produced, over cliché “country” that is clogging up the commercial radio airwaves. No Toby Keith or Taylor Swift here. Every Tuesday 8-Midnight, host Eric brings you the best from the vast world of americana. All your favorites from bluegrass, folk, alternative country, rockabilly, zydeco and more find a home on Torch & Twang. Big name stars like The Avett Brothers and Ryan Adams to small-time, no-name bands you’ve never heard of. Plus country greats of old like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. Torch & Twang also promotes Michigan’s long-standing tradition of incredible bluegrass and folk music by supporting all of your favorite local americana groups.

You’ll also hear numerous in-studio interviews and performances that give insight into the minds of the people behind the music. You’ll be kept up-to-date on all the concert happenings from Detroit to Grand Rapids and have the opportunity to win goodies with giveaways, including concert tickets, CDs and more!

If you’re a long time fan, or newcomer, to americana music, Progressive Torch & Twang is a must have in your Tuesday night!
