Roots n' Boots

Roots n' Boots Sundays 3-6 pm Eastern on WFPK 91.9 FM in Louisville and on wfpk.org everywhere Contact me at [email protected].

Playing Americana, Real Country, Alt-Country, Roots Rock, exquisite songwriters, and other genres of music with roots in the soil since 1998. Flattery will get you a lot, but it won't get you airplay. To get your music played on this program, all you gotta do is fit the format and be good. Send submissions clearly marked to "Michael Young" or "Roots n' Boots" at 619 South 4th Street, Louisville KY 40202 or my home address if you have it.
