WJLE will debut a new program Friday morning featuring local and area musical talent.
“Jammin’ at the 428” will air at 8:30 a.m. following the “Old Time Country Community Radio Show”
Jim Hicks, the host of the show, is hoping to make “Jammin’ at the 428” a regular program on WJLE at least a couple of times a month or maybe even weekly.
This week’s program will showcase the music of singer and songwriter Samantha Osborn from Sparta.
“It’s a show just promoting local talent. A lot of us will never be on stage getting an award but there is a lot of local talent in these hills and hollows. For me this is an opportunity to promote them and I just think it’s good for the community,” said Hicks.
Osborn records at Rick Scruggs’ Studio in Smithville, also known as the 428.
