The Backbeat explores great American music and its many roots and branches. The classic sounds of the Sixties and Seventies provide the starting point for a timeless musical journey.
Andy Franklin, the host of The Backbeat, used to go to
bed with a transistor radio under his pillow. After a long
career in broadcast journalism, he now lives on Siesta Key
and has family connections to Sarasota going back more
than forty years.
