 Simple Search - Fantastic Results!

We recently discovered just how popular WUKY's music format, Triple A (Adult Album Alternative), has become. A single Amazon.com search for Steve Earle turned up other Wookie Adult Rock favorites Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Mark Knopfler, Ryan Adams, and Lyle Lovett. Buy one, buy them all, you can always tune in to WUKY to hear these artists and more terrestrially at 91.3 or online at wuky.org

Live and Local

WUKY's disc jockeys are live. That is, we are in the studio, playing CDs (sometimes very loudly!), talking to you, and generally having a great time. At many radio stations, the music is on a hard drive, and the "canned" disc jockey lives several states away. Because we live where we work, we know our local musicians, and the ones who got their start here. We support them by playing their music, and we let you know where you can see them play live. Below is a small sampling of the local artists you hear on Adult Rock. You can click on most to visit their websites.

Casing the Joint
