Featured Release of the Week: Forrest VanTuyl - Old Trails

Forrest is a genuine cowboy that ranches and farms in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and musical partner, Margo Cilker. In the tradition of the cowboy poet, the songs on Old Trails are authentic folky stories of the true west. There are stories of hard work, horses, romance — and cars, and sounds right at place in the backcountry of Utah. Check it the full release on Bandcamp

Good News! You can now support KRCL community radio and Across the Tracks at the same time! Radiothon is coming up, but you can do a donation NOW and help us get a head start on our show goal.

With the claw-back in federal funding for public media, your support is more vital than ever. Community radio like KRCL would disappear without community support!

Each week on the show I work towards highlighting and supporting new and emerging artists, and providing a platform for Americana and roots music in Utah and beyond. This vital American art form is having a huge renaissance - there is so much great music being made and released and it deserves to be heard. Help us continue to do that.

Head to the link below and make a contribution in any amount that feels good for you. Be sure to select "Across the Tracks" so I see your donation and can thank you on-air.

THANK YOU!
