About the Show
Do you like good music? Of course you do. Are you tired of hearing the same 6 bands constantly, or flipping through stations and hearing the same song playing simultaneously? Of course you are. Dave is too. That’s why he’s using his show to say the heck with formats and play just about anything he can. No Format will wander all over the musical map to deliver the new, the old, the beloved and the unfairly forgotten. In short, we’ll have all the fun that formatted radio is missing, particularly from our local artists.
