Under the Radar

Thursday at 10:00 pm

The phrase, “under the radar,” literally means to go without attracting notice; in an undetected or secretive manner. But don’t let the title of John Todd’s radio program fool you. If the bands he plays on air were unnoticed before, they are surely on someone’s radar now.

John has made it his personal mission to unearth Kansas City’s best musicians by giving them the airplay they deserve. On his program, “Under the Radar”, anything goes.  From rock to country, folk to funk, there’s something here for all. So tune in on Thursday nights from 10-12 p.m. and let John help you get these under-represented bands on your music radar.
