With so many fresh and cutting edge musical groups in San Diego and passing through on tour, Radio Bandiego provides a vibrant, bustling hub where bands and solo musicians perform their music live on air and talk about their passions, inspirations, and aspirations.

Music Artists are essentially storytellers and we invite them to share their stories, those that can be expressed in words and those that can only be told through the emotion of melodies, rattling of strings, the sizzle of amplifiers, the crashing of drums, and through depths of lyrical poetry. The show strives to go beyond mere entertainment, providing a setting that lets bands and audiences find each other, and gives fans the opportunity to hear and get to know artists on a level much deeper than a cursory play-through.
