On January 23, 2021, KRTU celebrated its 45th Anniversary with a virtual music event. We featured performances by local and regional bands. KRTU’s Music Director Kory Cook hosted the event, with KRTU staff and community supporters providing commentary. Donations received during the online event went to support KRTU’s Tower Initiative.
San Antonio indie bands, Demitasse, Collective Dreams, Dreambored, We Leave at Midnight, and Garrett T. Capps with D.T. Buffkin plus Auggie Myers and friends all contributed performances. Check out the YouTube video of this momentous event below.
Michael Thomas, the host of KRTU’s flagship Indie Overnight show, Music for Listeners, curated a four hour show on January 23rd to celebrate the occasion. The show began at midnight and consisted of songs released each year KRTU has been on the air beginning in 1976 through 2020.
