Across the Pond with Mr. Hat

Join Mr. Hat for Across the Pond which will be focused on North American musicians, primarily of the alternative rock genre. I'll be playing songs from musicians who listeners will know, such as Arcade Fire and Green Day, but also a lot of artists that may be brand new to CamGlen listeners.

The show will also wander outside of the alternative rock world and include some folk, blues, classic rock, and other genres. And, although the show's focus will be on North American artists, I will be mixing in Scottish musicians, such as Karine Polwart, Admiral Fallow, and King Creosote.
