An exploration of the vast trove of music from the 20th century, from 1999 back to 1928, across multiple genres, generally tied together by a theme of sorts. Lots of the various styles of rock, pop, blues, soul/funk, jazz and more. Sometimes observing musician birthdays and/or album release anniversaries. Once in a while throwing in a new-ish song just to keep you on your toes. Striving for an interesting and enjoyable mix of the familiar and obscure.

What the Funk? Astral Jazz Travels
What starts with funk, and then travels to distant corners of the jazz universe? It’s What the Funk? Astral Jazz Travels, and your host Shinytop brings it to you every Saturday evening from 8 to 10. And sometimes, local musicians wander in to join Shinytop to talk music.
Now retired, Shinytop has produced and hosted a nationally syndicated independent program on peace and justice issues, and has been a news reporter and Morning Edition host at two NPR stations. Now here on AshevilleFM, he shares his love of all kinds of music. If you have requests/feedback, email him at [email protected].

Brews & Blues
Buffalo Mike hosts a hybrid music/talk radio show featuring most genres of music that ended up on the “B” sides of albums and 45s, but could have easily been “A” side material, discusses the art & science of home and commercial brewing with local brewers, and investigates local Asheville events. The second hour of his show features strictly blues music and interviews.
