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?!: Remembering Dean Rasmussen (05/05/23)

Tonight 9-11pm I’ll be remembering Dean Rasmussen with music from Flannel and British Sterling. Plus I have a song for Kevin of Sunrise Ocean Bender, a disco Star Wars song, and songs by Divine, Thunderchief, Toward Space, Wailin Storms, etc. Tune in!
