World music featuring the latest and best from all corners of the globe with knowledgeable and passionate hosts. Every Sunday afternoon from 1-3 pm.

Amy Contardi: I feature an eclectic blend of music from everywhere, often with a political twist to the lyrics. You are likely to hear Latin America's thought provoking Nueva Cancion, traditional and contemporary music from the UK, and roots music from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe. With so many world musicians living in the Bay area, I often have guests, live performances, and ticket give-aways.

Blues Before Sunrise is unlike any other show, this is the Blues Heritage showcase. This Chicago-based, nationally syndicated public radio program explores, preserves, and popularizes the various eras and genre of Blues Heritage. Host Steve Cushing numbers among his friends and closest associates fellow musicians to whom the blues is a vital, thriving music as well as a means of making a living.

American Routes is a weekly two-hour public radio program produced in New Orleans, presenting a broad range of American music — blues and jazz, gospel and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin, roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. Now in our 15th year on the air, American Routes explores the shared musical and cultural threads in these American styles and genres of music — and how they are distinguished.
Nick Spitzer - Host of American Routes

The program also presents documentary features and artist interviews. Our conversations include Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, B.B. King, Dr. John, Dave Brubeck, Abbey Lincoln, Elvis Costello, Ray Charles, Randy Newman, McCoy Tyner, Lucinda Williams, Rufus Thomas, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others. Join us as we ride legendary trains, or visit street parades, instrument-makers, roadside attractions and juke joints, and meet tap dancers, fishermen, fortunetellers and more.

The songs and stories on American Routes describe both the community origins of our music, musicians and cultures — the “roots”— and the many directions they take over time — the “routes.”
