The Lonesome Stranger

Join The Lonesome Stranger, every Thursday from 9-11 AM. All killer, no filler, no bro bands or lip sync-ers. Tune us in Thursdays from 9-11!

Hosts Tim Hertenberger, Claude Hopper, Saint Annie, DJ Salty Cracker, Dave Jaffee, and Melinda Bee bring you the off-the-dial country sides you won't find on "regular" radio. Welcome to The Lonesome Stranger, classic and not so classic country music for the listener who gave up on country radio. Authentic get down for the discerning country music aficionado. Who are The Lonesome Strangers? Lonesom

e & strange, Yance-man has been a KOOP DJ since 2016 cutting his teeth as part of Love on the Dole, starting his own freeform show Channel Surfing Fridays at 11 AM, and spending time as a member of Fresh from the Underground. He believes Hank Williams is king, loves cover songs, and hopes to do KOOP's legacy of country & roots programming proud. Claude Hopper made his way to KOOP via the open road and his twin, Rocky, brings you classic rock and psychedelia over at Le Chateau Daddy-o at 4:30 on Tuesdays. Dillon Minacci brings the outlaw and honky-tonk to the Lonesome Stranger Mix. You can also find him on his koop.org streaming show The Double Head Variety Hour Tuesdays at 8. Melinda Bee grew up with Hee Haw, 1970’s AM country radio, and most importantly open ears that follow the music. She may be a little obsessed with Tennessee Ernie Ford. She loves mid-century, roots, lounge, and cosmic country, with an appreciation for the weird or just plain silly. You can also find her on Fridays at the helm of The Africa Express.

Hey there! DJ Salty Cracker here. I forgot to add my show promo here yesterday, but through the magic of the interwebs, you can listen to it from KOOP Radio's archives. My regular gig on the station, Both Kinds of Music (Mondays at 8pm on the stream), plays new and recent releases from independent artists so I played the some of the best stuff I've heard the past couple months since I last hosted on the Stranger. Check it out here: https://koop.org/program/the-lonesome-stranger/

Thanks!

It's been an honor & a pleasure, but I leave y'all with a slew of quality hosts and I think there's even a new one riding in. I won't be a stranger, you'll still be able to visit my less-country side on Channel Surfing.
