This show, broadcast Thursday mornings from 9 to 11 Pacific on KOWS 92.5 FM, features two hours of the newest Americana music out there and it’s also where you can relive some of the classics, and hear from some of our local Americana artists. We are broadcasting live from the KOWS studios in the Cherry Street Historic District of Santa Rosa, California, in the heart of Sonoma County. Stream us live Thursday mornings or download the KOWS mobile app at kowsfm.com/listen.
Coming up on Episode 501, Thursday, March 20, 2025
We’re sweeping the studio floor and recycling all the confetti from last week’s celebration and those champagne bottles are taking up room in the trash…so off to the blue bin they go. Quite a time was had by all and we’re firing up the engines once again after some fine tuning with a killer show filled with tributes to the patron saint of rock n’ roll…and that would be Sister Rosetta Tharpe. We celebrate her 110th heavenly birthday on this episode. The show will be a magical blend of the vintage and new. We’ll hear from Fern Jones, Elvis, Maria Muldaur, Joan Osborne, among others in our journey through the roots bins. New music will include Sean McConnell, Sierra Hull and JD Clayton as we head into Spring with our eyes fixed on not letting hate define the American dream. We’re always booming out our low watt signal to the folks we love in West Sonoma County and, like every Thursday morning, you can count on Dave Stroud guiding listeners through the very best Americana.

Blue Moon Americana has been cranking out the goods, new and old, for over a decade and this morning’s show celebrates somewhat of a landmark for us. It is our 500th episode! We’ll spend time this week focused on the new music we’ve brought to the Sonoma County airwaves since 2015; songs that made the top of our lists and the bottom of our hearts. Tune in this week for Sturgill Simpson, Hayes Carll, Nikki Lane, Kacey Musgraves, The Alvins, Charley Crockett, Logan Ledger, Big Daddy Wilson, Sierra Ferrell, and nearly two dozen more. The cream of the Americana crop from KOWS Community Radio, streaming to planet Earth on kowsfm.com/listen and always booming out our low watt signal to the folks we love in West Sonoma County. Dave Stroud will guide you through the very best of the past decade.
