PRESENTER OF THE YEAR 2022
Blues and Roots Radio's 2nd annual award for Presenter Of The Year 2022
goes to Ken Stearns for his show HeartBeatTrue Radio.
Ken is based in O'Brien, Florida, USA and has been with Blues & Roots Radio
from our earliest inception, he plays what he calls 'the wide open country', which
can be singer-songwriters, Southern Rock, Americana, Bluesgrass, Country, Blues
and everything in between. The show is anchored out of 100.1FM WGOT in Gainesville, Florida and is broadcast worldwide on Blues & Roots Radio.
​
One cool aspect of Ken's weekly show is the involvement of a couple of
very special co-presenters, who happen to be his grand children,
Caleb and Elena Chesnutt.
​
We hope you can take a listen, and also tune in to the many other great shows
on our schedule. Congratulations to Ken, Caleb and Elena !
