With 2025 coming to a close, and more than 60 episodes of 105 Live under our belt, this seemed like a good time to share an update on which Kansas counties have been featured on the show.

Since its debut in Oct 2024, 105 Live has shared hundreds of songs from Kansas artists, as well as dozens of live tracks, studio interviews and news from the Kansas music scene. With live recordings from the KPR live performance studio, tracks recorded from local stages like The Bottleneck and Northside Social, live music is a big part of the show.

We've also dedicated whole episodes to events like the Smoky Hill River Festival in Salina, Lovegrass Music Fest at Wilson Lake, KS, and the 2025 Kansas Music Hall of Fame inductees, shining a light on unique Kansas music happenings and history.

105 Live can be heard Saturdays at 5pm and noon Sundays on Kansas Public Radio, and is also carried by our friends at High Plains Public Radio, Oak Grove Radio, and Radio Joe 96.1FM.

Below is a playlist of artists from counties Allen through Wyandotte, whose music has aired on the show. This list is not expansive, but a selection showcasing some of the variety of musical styles, genres and voices creating music across the Sunflower state.

A note about listening: with fair artist pay for music streaming in mind, our favorite digital streaming platform for music is Tidal. The links below will share options to listen on other services (where available) and we encourage you to visit artist websites and Bandcamp pages to support artists directly, whenever possible. Even better, go see these artists at a show and buy direct from the merch stand!
