Thanks to Nick Carswell for making time to talk to High Plains Morning about his Kansas music showcase, 105 Live. It's HPPR's latest addition to our fabulous Saturday regional music lineup, airing at 1pm CT.
We talked about his history as a lifelong music lover, from his roots in Ireland to the great state of Kansas. And he's a musician himself, not to mention a passionate community connector and advocate of emerging artists. So glad we snagged him from the Emerald Isle! Thanks, Nick, for the great show, and we hope to help you get to 105. Click the link at the top of this page to hear the full interview.
