Every year from April until the festival, we highlight Blue Ox Music Festival recording artists with the Blue Ox Sunday Showcase! It's your chance to hear some of your favorites, or get to know some artists- Sundays at 2pm on 101.9FM or convergeradio.org
We’re so looking forward to another weekend in The Pines!
Keep it tuned to Converge 101.9 FM all spring long for lots of @blueoxmusicfestival coverage as we highlight this year’s lineup in our regular playlists as well as with some upcoming specialty preview features. Catch all the above on the dial here in EC, and streaming worldwide over at convergeradio.org!!!
We're in the middle of a New Tunes Day here at Converge Radio- where all afternoon, you hear nothing but brand new music released within the last few weeks. Today we got some great one! Thanks for listening!
Here's our new song of the week- it'll be in heavy rotation in order to highlight songs we love!
Kurt Vile released the first single off of his new record, "Zoom 97" - the sort of driving anthem we've grown to love from his body of work. It's a celebration of his hometown of Philadelphia, and just driving around. It's real nice.

We're back with more New Tunes today- like every Tuesday!
From noon to 4pm Central, all you'll hear is brand new tracks, released within the last week or two. Here are some of the highlights coming your way.
corook - Banana Peel - frontrunner for song of the summer?
Balming Tiger - Home - 70s krautrock meets K Pop? More, please!
Alex G- In The Yard - One of the best of the decade, releasing a new track to YouTube late last week-it's a good one!
Whisper Doll - Am I A Knife - this Brooklyn band is going places - shiny synths, huge vocals, and a strong message behind it all. Great, great stuff.
