LOCAL MUSIC PLAY:
🎢 Tune in to The Morning Show with Ben (The one with the Big Forehead), 10am-1pm. 🎢

Interview and play coming up at 11:20am.

We’ve got a special treat for you! Local singer/songwriter Asgard Raven will be joining us in the studio to chat about his latest music release and perform his brand new single, Tranquillity which was recorded at local studio Sunrise Sound Studio

This track has an early Britpop shoegazing feel, and it’s his 4th release this year through the London-based label The Animal Farm. Tranquillity is all about finding peace in a chaotic world, with dreamy soundscapes that build into powerful, distorted highs. It’s a perfect escape, even if just for a few minutes!

Asgard Raven is an indie-rock artist who’s been gaining attention from the likes of Radio X, BBC, Amazing Radio, and more. His music, born from experiences during his time in the Army, combines influences from punk, rock, blues, and indie music to create a unique sound reminiscent of early 90s Britpop.

We love supporting local talent, and we’re excited to bring you the best of what Andover has to offer. 🎧
