Artists recorded by Southwest Stages
Southwest Stages weekly one-hour specialty radio show that features music in a wide variety of styles, from Blues to Jazz, Funk to Folk, Americana to Country, Rock to Rhythm, Native to World music and more. The program follows a magazine format with guest interviewers and great live performances.
Southwest Stages is produced in “the heart of the Southwest,” Albuquerque, New Mexico. We gather material for the program by packing up our remote recording studio, traveling around the Southwest (from California to Louisiana) to record musical events and venues throughout the Southwest. By featuring the live performances recorded at community events, we fulfill our goal of bringing the art of live music back to the radio dial.
Southwest Stages informs a national audience about the unique culture, venues and musical events of the Southwest. By sharing the music and live events of the region, we hope to unite communities and provide audiences throughout the US and the world a taste of the vibrant and lively music culture of the Southwest.
