- Covers 2012 Hour 2
- From
- D. Grant Smith
We've reached the 7th year in our annual cover series, now with 2 hours. By presenting covers that add a new flair to the original, chef/host D Grant Smith presents something beyond the typical tribute tune. This hour is full of covers of indie and classic songs, presented in a new, fresh way. Hear covers of Mumford & Sons, Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Johnny Cash and much more. Though the program is 2 hours, stations can use a single hour without worry. There is no reference to the second hour in Hour 1. There is a brief mention of a previous hour in Hour 2 to provide context for the continuation of the theme.
