June 19, 2026: Juneteenth live from the Green River Festival!

Today is a day to celebrate freedom and music, because it’s Juneteenth, but it’s also the first day of the Green River FestivalSo we’re combining those two things for a live broadcast straight from the mainstage at the Franklin County FairgroundsIn addition to a celebration of freedom for all, we’ll hear insights and music from some of the amazing artists performing as part of the this year’s line up: including last year’s NPR tiny desk winner Ruby Ibarra, who has ties to one of rock’s godmothers locally and internationally in June Millington, the musical legacy of Swamp Dogg, whose created and produced music of too many genres to mention, and whose influence reaches into many other artistic arenas as well. Plus we’ll get to meet one of the first guests this show ever had with the heartfelt lyrics and intrepid fingerpicking of Sunny War. And we’ll give you a quick history of the holiday we’re all celebrating as well.
