The Wednesday Show
Kicking off the Wednesday mix on BTR is DJRePete. Tune in for a pair of artists playing Barcelona’s Premivera Sound, and another headed to Governor’s Ball in New York. Plus, alt rock before you can buy it from Archie Bronson Outfit, a piano ballad from Jolie Holland, and power electronica with Strange Talk. And, fitting nicely, some throwbacks with alternative by Sharon Van Etten, a dreamy instrumental from William Tyler, and electronica crossover via Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. Consider your Wednesday musically jam-packed on BTR with DJRePete!
