What the Fontaine?!: Remembering Wes Freed (09/09/22)

“What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you’ll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres.”

Wes Freed died Sunday. He sang for Mutant Drone, Mudd Helmut, Dirtball, The Shiners, Mag Bats, but was also known for his art, particularly Drive-By Truckers covers. I’m gonna play many of these bands. And also debut a song by Future Projektor who have a record release gig at The Byrd Saturday 3:30pm. Tune in Friday 9-11pm on WRIR.
