A station tradition and listener favorite for more than 30 years. The Blend is a complimentary mix of rock, Americana, bluegrass, blues, Native American, world, and R&B. You'll hear old favorites, lost classics, and emerging artists; all woven together by the thread of great songwriting and hand-chosen by KSUT DJs.
The Music Blend is built around “core” artists such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne; Americana from Dave Alvin, Cowboy Junkies, Steve Earle, and Lucinda Williams; Colorado favorites like Leftover Salmon and Elephant Revival; and exciting new artists, many of whom eventually perform in the Four Corners region.
The KSUT Music Blend airs:
Monday – Friday: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Monday - Friday: 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Saturday: 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
