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.
We’re back in the saddle beginning April 2026, but with some minor changes to the format. Since we’re now including meta information about the music we’re playing live on our stream at kowsfm.com/listen, there’s now very little interruption. Yes, there’s some underwriter acknowledgements (because where would we be without them) and some curation notes, but other than that…it’s all about the music. Americana music, of course.
