What the Fontaine?!: Remembering Wes Freed (09/09/22) (Re-Air 09/30/22)

“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 9/4/22. 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 9/10/22. Tune in Friday 9-11pm on WRIR.
