This week’s installment of Rock ‘n Roll Station is devoted entirely to songs about rivers, traversing a broad expanse of styles and genres ranging from jazz and folk to dark ambient and synth-pop to prog and indie rock. Featured artists include Nick Drake, Primal Scream, Brian Eno, Coil, Nurse With Wound, Current 93 and many more besides.

Rock ‘n Roll Station airs each Thursday morning from 8:00 to 10:00 AM, bringing you two hours of free-form programming in the classic spirit of 1960s underground radio.
It’s the music of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hosted by Ferrara Brain Pan.
