With Fontaine

What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you’ll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres. On any given week I might play punk, funk, rock, blues, hip-hop, jazz, reggae, electronica, country, rockabilly, new wave, industrial, African, metal, soul, classical, go-go, gospel, cajun, local music or whatever else I can think of. Often there are themes and occasionally local band interviews.

Fontaine has been an indie radio DJ in Richmond, VA for many, many years. In addition to hosting WTF since Summer 2008, she is among the rotating cast of DJs bringing you the 80s/90s/late70s show (End of the Century, Saturdays 3-5 PM) and the local band show (River City Limits, Saturdays 5-7PM).

What the Fontaine?!: Black History Month, pt 1 (02/18/22)

February is Black History Month, which gives me a good excuse to play a lot of great music from many time periods and styles: funk, punk, jazz, reggae, blues, etc. Tune in 9-11pmEST.
