WBOI Host "Sidetracks" Live Show With Eclectic Musical Journey

Andy Laverghetta
WBOI's Volunteer show host, Brad Etter, at work in the air studio, ready to present "Side Tracks."

Fort Wayne native Brad Etter has a seemingly unquenchable thirst for music he shares every Saturday night on 89.1 WBOI, with co-host Bruce Grimm, on Sidetracks.

Serving up this weekly, two-hour sampler of eclectic musical genres and performers has been a part of Brad's life since 2012, and he regards sharing music in this way as an honor and privilege.  

As WBOI's Julia Meek continues to take her monthly looks "Behind the Mic." she managed to derail Etter into the studio, to discuss the roots of his musical passion, and the routes they take, on and of air.

A Fort Wayne native, Julia is a radio host, graphic artist, and community volunteer, who has contributed to NIPR both on- and off-air for forty years. Besides being WBOI's arts & culture reporter, she currently co-produces and hosts Folktales and Meet the Music.
