I love having the opportunity to introduce new artists to new audiences, and that’s one thing The Appetizer has been doing every week for the past 8 plus years, with no repeated programming. That means it’s a new show, a new menu, a fresh collection of music each week. This weekend I’m serving up some brand new musical flavors this hour from artists you know and a few you might not. Some of it is yet to be released and you get a sample tasting before most everyone else does. This includes new music from Sinead O’Conner in just a bit. Also a tribute album to the great Bob Dylan that was recently released as a 4 disc set, we have a cut from that. And a few tracks from Golden Fork nominated artists like William Fitzsimmons and Madi Diaz that you can acquire for free. More information at the NoiseTrade page.
We hope you’re connecting with the artists that we introduce to you. Please look them up on their websites, Twitter, and/or FB and let them know you heard them here.

Here’s the menu:
“Tonight, Not Again” by Jason Mraz
“Katy” by Peter Bradley Adams
“Burn” by Ray LaMontagne
“Passing Afternoon” by Iron and Wine
Check out a great video of him performing this song. His great personality shines through when he calls out a guy that has to leave the show.
*The Appetizer loves Iron & Wine (I suppose we should say we love Samuel Beam, since that is his real name)! In 2010, we were lucky enough to get him to pay a visit to Abilene for a concert.
“With Whom You Belong” by Tugout and Fistful of Mercy
“Out of Control” by Mindy Smith
“Home” by Parlor Hawk
“Reach” by Andrew Belle
*Andrew is such a talented artist, he actually paid The Appetizer a visit as well. Check out this video from an his exclusive interview and acoustic set at Flyboy Studios with The Appetizer. He performed “The Ladder from his latest album.
“Add It Up” by Andrew Belle
“Let’s Go” by Madie Diaz
“Who Will” by Will Straton
“Foundling” by David Gray
“Safe and Sound” by The Light Parade
*This group was actually formed at ACU, which is the college I am attending. (Go Wildcats…. Yea, I shouldn’t fool you. I’m not one of those full of school spirit type of gals. Sorry if you thought I was.) Made up of Kara DuBose and Alex Howard, it is definitely worth checking out.
“Tied to Me” by William Fitzsimmons
*William Fitzsimmons is a close friend of The Appetizer. We actually have a great podcast with a conversation with William that gives great insight into his life, creativity and inspiration. Taking you all the way back to our 2008 archives, check it out here.
Of course, William has paid a visit to Flyboy Studios for an exclusive interview and acoustic set with The Appetizer. There are many videos from his visit on our YouTube page. Check it out here.
But as always, I’ll share my favorite. William’s acoustic performance of “Beautiful Girl”. I could listen to his voice all day. Couldn’t you?
“Waltz Me” by Bess Rogers
I know, I know. That is an awesome lineup. Make sure to tune in! You can catch The Appetizer on Saturdays at 9pm on 89.7 KACU (and now a encore presentation on Friday’s at 2pm), Sundays at 9pm on 90.5 KTRL, and Saturdays at 3 pm on 91.3 KVLU.
