WRFG’s Route 66 celebrates a time when blues, jazz, and R&B blended together,
often in the same song. Our primary focus is on the music of the Jump Blues Era
of the 1940s which blended into the early part of the Rock & Roll Era of the 1950s
and on how those styles and artists have evolved over the years.
Listen to Route 66 Sunday from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M. Eastern (U.S.) on
Atlanta’s WRFG 89.3FM. Your independent community radio station is
streamingworldwide over our free mobile app and WRFG.ORG.

Not your “typical” Route 66 today. It’s the first Sunday of the 2024 WRFG Spring
Fund Drive, so, instead of broadcasting from our “private” studio in DeKalb County,
we’re coming to you live from the WRFG Studio in Little 5 Points.
