Classic Drive Swede Said

Classic DRIVE SWEDE SAID is a one-hour music program on 98.7 WVMO with your host - Kirk Swenson. Some shows have themes and some do not.

Classic DRIVE SWEDE SAID is like that great mixtape from your friend that you listen to again and again. The program includes a variety of genres with songs from 60+ years of rock/soul/blues/indie/folk/punk/Americana music. Listeners will appreciate being introduced to songs by lesser known artists as well as those whose names bring a nod of recognition. It's always a musical adventure.
