Radio Tucker is celebrating two years on the air in July, with a live music event at High Card Brewing on Saturday, July 16, from 4:00 to 11:00 p.m. Attendance is free, thanks to support from local sponsors, including High Card Brewing, Rockin’ Road Trip, Hot Betty's Breakfast Bar, Doug the Driver and Wax N Facts Record Store. Several local bands are scheduled to perform, including Lynx Deluxe, Art Linton Experience, Das Kaiser and Current Rage. Radio Tucker's Friday Night Fever host, DJ Fernando F, will also spin live sets between the bands to keep the party hopping. In addition to an afternoon of live music, guests of the Radio Tucker Music Festival can win free prizes from Radio Tucker, enjoy locally brewed beer from High Card Brewing, and grab a bite to eat from Hot Betty's or other nearby restaurants.

Radio Tucker launched in July 2020, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic when local bands weren’t able to play bars, clubs and festivals. Jason Becknell founded Radio Tucker so local bands could continue to share their music with the

world. “From the start, we were looking forward to the day when we could get back out to live concerts, and it looks like we're getting there,” said Becknell. “With the twoyear anniversary of our launch coming up this July, we wanted to do something to Bill Linton Experience thank all of our listeners.” “We love Radio Tucker, and what they do for local bands,” said Lynx Deluxe front man Andy Browne. “What Radio Tucker is doing for local bands is wonderful. and they play lots of great music that you don't hear on other radio stations." Radio Tucker is a 24/7 online radio station serving Tucker and surrounding areas. The station programs classic rock to today's indie, alternative rock, alt-country and Americana plus local weather every hour, guest DJs, Georgia music, local bands, and much more.
