Programming

Radio Free Americana delivers 24×7 independent free-form internet radio from our studio in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Our primary focus is to feature new releases (including new reissues).  To this end, we scour the globe to bring you our favorite new music, updating our rotation daily.  We also draw from a deep back catalog for your listening pleasure.

Our commercial-free programming reflects our diverse musical interests, eschewing categories/genres in favor of having a richer, fuller, and more robust musical experience.  RFA’s programming includes Americana, Rock ‘n Roll, Power Pop, Pub Rock, Cosmic Country, Folk-Rock, R&B, Hillbilly, Indie Rock, Blues, Countrypolitan, Soul, Garage, Alt. Country, Punk, Old-Time, Jazz, Rockabilly, Psychedelia, Bluegrass, Outsider, and more (or less); although, we’re not exactly sure what any of those terms mean.  It’s all pop music to us.  Enjoy Radio Free Americana, where twang meets pop!
