Reel Roots Featured in WNKU-FM Interview

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- CINCINNATI—Reel Roots’ owner Kristen Kirby was featured in a four-minute interview aired on 89.7 WNKU-FM.

“We were extremely fortunate to be featured,” said Kirby, owner and promoter. “The piece not only spotlighted what Reel Roots is bringing to Cincinnati, but it also took a look at some noted musicians within the genre.”

Artists like John Whelan and Alyth McCormack were featured in the piece.

“While bringing international musicians to Cincinnati is certainly one of our goals, we also want to raise awareness for the genre,” said Kirby.

Reel Roots has been accomplishing this aspect of their mission by posting monthly interviews with noted musicians to the website, offering workshops with artists they bring to the city and more.

Exclusive interviews with Alyth McCormack and John Whelan have already been posted to the website.
