Swingin' Doors is dedicated to a wide range of country sounds and styles,
from honky tonk and western swing to alternative country and bluegrass, in
sharp contrast to the tight playlists and narrow focus of today's
commercial country radio.
As might be expected from a show named Swingin' Doors, there's usually a
bit more honky tonk than anything else, though you'll hear everything from
old-time fiddle tunes and boppin' country boogie to lush Countrypolitan
sounds and hard-charging alternative twang-rock.
You'll hear country giants like Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb and Lefty
Frizzell alongside more obscure but talented folks such as Joe Carson, the
Lonesome Pine Fiddlers and Charline Arthur. You'll also hear plenty of
new music ranging from hardcore honky tonkers like Roger Wallace and
Heather Myles to edgy alt-country artists like Neko Case, the Drive-By
Truckers and Fred Eaglesmith.
I try to keep listeners up-to-date with what's happening now in the wide
world of country music, while also bringing to light the richness and
diversity of country's past. I'll also do my best to put the music in
context by structuring the show so you can see the connections between
different songs, artists and styles, along with sharing anecdotes and
other bits of information about the music.
I also try to give folks a chance to hear country artists that are coming
to town soon, while also supporting Seattle's twang community by regularly
playing the music of local artists.
More than anything else, I try to play music that moves you, whether it's
a song that makes you jump with joy or one that rips your heart out.
