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 Rock & Roots. You can click on most to visit their websites.
