E2TG 2/23/2021 - A New Adventure - Brooklyn Girls Mix (Dinosaur Remix)

Tweet #E2TG

Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!

Today was the premiere of Ear to the Ground Radio.  I think this will be a lot of fun.  It is a great way to feature new music from some of our favorite E2TG artists and new (to us) artists.  As with E2TG the blog - expect an eclectic mix of genres from Nashville and the world.  It will air every Tuesday at 6am on WXNA 101.5 (in Nashville) and wxnafm.org. Due to some set up issues - I don't think this morning's show was archived but future shows will be available on the wxna website.

17. "White and Black Angel - Radio Edit" by Monsieur Minimal 

We have the radio edit of a song from Easteria - one of our favorites from last year.  Monsieur Minimal has a new album coming in November.
