2018

2018 was a groundbreaking year for music! The Music Modernization act was passed in Congress.

Hippo Campus released the album Bambi, and had the opportunity to stop by and perform some records off their new album live in studio. Maggie Rogers also had the chance to visit the studio to sing for us live on-air.

During our Nashville Sunday Night series located at 3rd & Lindsley, Lightning 100 had some incredible artists play. Some of the highlights were, Future Thieves, Sunflower Bean, Public Access TV, and Elliot Root.
