- D. Grant Smith
We love cover songs, but prefer those that take a new and fresh approach to the original, adding a new flavor or seasoning to the song we all know and love, and it a way make it their own. Chef and host D Grant Smith presents a collection of covers from a variety of styles and genres, both artists known and unknown as we present our 7th Annual Cover Program. This program is available as a 2 hour presentation or can be taken one hour at a time. In the first hour there is no mention of a second hour of the series, so stations need not worry about a break in continuity or a promotion for additional programming not used if you choose to only air this first hour.
