Semi-Twang

Semi-Twang is a weekly radio show hosted by me, Paul Hefti; wherein the roots of music are wide-ranging and always growing. These roots include classic country, alt country, singers & songwriters, Americana, blues, folk, bluegrass, soul, rockabilly, and whatever the heck else might particularly float my boat. The show is largely dedicated to new releases so, in some ways, Semi-Twang is Tomorrow’s Music Today!. Heard Mondays afternoons from 3 to 5 pm with an encore Wednesday mornings at 1am on KUTZ FM 95.7 Sacramento Free Form radio. Check me out on Mixcloud at www.mixcloud.com/paul-hefti/

DJ Bio:

I am a musicaholic.  I bought my first album a long time ago, The Monkees PRESENT.  I held my ear to a transistor radio and eventually moved to headphones and FM radio.  I eventually got a job at a record store and had to quit because I always owed more than I made.  I wrote music reviews for a fanzine and school newspapers and eventually ended up on public radio.  I’ve done commercial radio and even managed an NPR station.  I started Semi-Twang in 2000.  Named after the fantastic band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the show has lived on Access Sacramento until recently.
