This unique radio show is brought to you COMMERCIAL FREE by Spiritwood Music of The Boundary Waters - our record label based in Ely, Minnesota at the edge of The Boundary Waters Wilderness Area.

Spiritwood Music was formed to produce acoustic music that is still pure and true and always respectful of its roots (which are as diverse as you can get). American Roots Music blends styles and rhythms and traditions from around the world - a great patchwork quilt of sound - diverse - vibrant and dynamic - just like the cultures that inspire it.

Every week we feature another recording artist - or a colorful, fascinating individual involved in our beautiful wilderness area. Our celebrated host, Brett Ross, presides over the show - weaving acoustic music through riveting discussions for a lively, entertaining hour. Enjoy: Celtic, Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, Swing, Country, Blues, Gospel, Classical, Nordic - a fusion of musical genres performed by Spiritwood Music's award-winning artists.

Learn about our amazing area, our gifted artists, and what makes us unique.
