Airplay is...

Airplay is more than a show, it's an institution. Join the Airplay gang every week as they open the flood gates and let the music pour in. Airplay specializes in live in-studio performances by the best and brightest. Search the performance database if you don't believe us. Three parts freaky and two parts fresh, Airplay licks it where most shows only lightly kiss.

Featured Performance

Theresa Andersson Friday, March 13, 2009

Fun mini set from multi-instrumentalist and one-woman-band Theresa Andersson. Born in Sweden, transplanted to New Orleans, her recording debut was dixieland, but later she transitioned to pop and blues-rock. Her live set gives you a grin to watch--live sampling and loopy loop overdubbing creating a series of quirky pop nuggets. Not unlike the YouTube viral video of her playing "Na Na Na" in her own kitchen, most of Andersson's 3rd album Hummingbird, Go! was recorded in just that way. She's already got a pretty big following, so we expect you'll be hearing quite a bit more from Ms. Andersson in years to come.
