Not only is this time of year great for apples, pumpkins, and candy; it’s also the time of year when A TON of new music starts to come out. To celebrate that fact this episode is jam packed with new tunes (only 2 songs are not from this year). While you probably have heard of The Avett Brothers and They Might Be Giants, we also have some lesser known artists like Choir of Young Believers, Generationals, Evan Voytas. Also keep an eye out for The Holloways as something tells me you will start to hear a lot from them.

And we are happy to introduce the first ever Half Hour Music Hour Trivia Contest. Listen to the show to hear the question and then Drop us a line with your answer. We will draw a winner from random out of all the correct answers and let that person on the air for an upcoming show to introduce a song.
