Another strong KUT Radio-Music Showcase

David Brown, Andy Uhler, Peter Babb and the rest of the radio-gifted crew of Texas Music Matters (KUT) have put together a fast moving sampling from the just concluded South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin.

Taking moments from shows, showcases and KUT studio events, there are, forgive the cliché, too many high points to list, but include The Low Anthem, Asa, T-Bird and the Breaks and the Somalia-born K’Naan who delivers a most dynamic and rousing pay off to a moving but somewhat odd intro during his moment on the show.

Host David Brown and the entire Texas Music Matters – KUT creative group deliver a musical production that will hit home with your station’s music lovers. Music choices, flow and tasteful, minimalist hosting make this program a good fit during afternoon-evening dayparts on weekdays and weekends.

KUT and Texas Matters are well represented with long and short pieces on PRX – including, “Amazing Grace: The Story of Willie Nelson,” recently awarded First Place for Documentary Reporting and the Grand Prize for Radio at the 75th Annual National Headliners Awards. http://www.prx.org/pieces/25468-amazing-grace-the-story-of-willie-nelson.

Timing and Cues

One minute billboard (separate) and two 1-minute station breaks at :20 and :40 with built-in music beds.
