The Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program (AZYEP) believes youth have an important voice and the community needs opportunities to listen. We partner with KDNK to teach youth radio broadcasting and develop confidence using their voice to express themselves in the community. AZYEP includes a diverse group of young people, 8-18 years-old who enjoy entertaining and educating listeners. AZYEP also partners with teachers to integrate radio projects into the school experience for third through twelfth graders from Aspen to Parachute. For more information and to learn how to get involved, please contact Beth Wysong.

I would like to believe that I have some Irish or Scottish blood in me but with a name like "DeFries" it may not be likely (haven't done the DNA test yet!). Anyway, I have been attracted to Celtic music since hearing the late Fred Geiss do Celtic Thunder (the first to bring Celtic music to KDNK) probably 25 years ago or so. It just stirs something in me to hear bagpipes, Irish fiddle and the Gaelic language. When asked once if I wanted to join an African dance group, my reply was, "I'd rather be clogging to Celtic music!!" Maybe a past life? I don't know, but whatever it is, I enjoy playing this music for all others who are also stirred by it. It's been a pleasure to explore this genre in more depth, as there is so much fine Celtic music out there! I hope to be sharing this music for years to come and in memory of Fred Geiss, I hope a show of this nature continues on KDNK.

Sister Kate & Brother Philbert host Sister Kate's Sideshow on KDNK. Their fans are kind of obsessed.

I grew up listening to Blues and Bluegrass. Blues never gets old and KDNK is a great place to explore new and old music. I love sharing music with the community.

Born in Ohio, landed in the Roaring Fork Valley at 18, attempted an escape, but was caught and returned to finish life sentence.
