A Great Season of outloud
Thanks for being with us!

WFSU brings you the Big Bend area through sights and sounds on TV, radio, and the web. On the TV side, outloud brings you some of those sweetest sounds: the music of our area. It's the sound of sorrowful lament from an old country fiddle, a surprising and adventurous saxophone improvisation, the gentle yet vigorous plucking of the Chinese zheng, or a nasty gutter funk guitar solo that leaves your ears ringing. It is those sounds and a whole lot more- though not all at once (that might make an interesting band, however).

This music provides us with a window to who and what our area is. This is the American south, which has a rich culture and musical tradition all its own. And then there are people who have come from all over the state, the country, and even the world to go to school or settle here. This combination makes this area fun and unique, and the music reflects that. Take a listen to some of the video clips on these pages and you'll see what we're talking about. It's our mission to give you the widest sampling of music in this area; we try to bring you the best, the exotic, the quirky (or downright strange), the rootsy, the up and coming, the danceable, and anything else worth listening to. So bring an open mind, and we will fill it with music.
