There's nothing better than sitting on your deck after work and listening to some good local music. That might be tough to do unless you know a local band personally or you and your friends are able strum a few chords.

Enter New Appalachian Radio, “For years, West Virginia has exported its natural resources. We’ve exported our coal, our gas...we’ve also exported our artists, our songwriters and musicians, who’ve left for Nashville or New York.” The aim of this project is to give local talent a place they can be heard as well as to spread that music further out.

"New Appalachian Radio aims to share West Virginia’s music with the world." I think this is a great idea, it is a way for us to share our culture and heritage with the rest of Appalachia. I know I plan on tuning in and listening to who's playing.
