Remember when we worried about David Christensen, OPB music director? Yeah. Not so much:
Oregon Public Broadcasting announced the launch of opbmusic, a new contemporary music service available online and on the radio. opbmusic features the best indie, alternative and pop music with a special emphasis on new music and artists from the Northwest, particularly those from Oregon. ...
More than a dozen bands and artists have already recorded opbmusic sessions, and more are on the way.
"This is an exciting project," said David Christensen, OPB's music director. "It's a chance to really shine a spotlight on some of the great music and artists from Oregon, and tap into the audience's ideas about what's new and exciting." Christensen added, "We're already blogging about the music we're playing now, live shows in and around Portland and the Northwest, and upcoming artists. Listeners will only deepen that conversation and help us decide what music we play."
The service is online at OPBMusic.org and on HD radio at 91.5-2.
woo hoo!
