CP S16 EP20 2022

June 13, 2022 – Alysia Kraft‘s new solo album “First Light” isn’t out yet, but the popular singer-songwriter has already advanced three singles from her debut solo release – Little River, Cold Mountain, and Hamilton Pool. The singer, known for the bands Whippoorwill and the Patti Fiasco, is one of this month’s featured artists at Indie 102.3; the three tracks will propel “First Light” into the TOP 5 for June.

Did you know your vote in the Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) below matters when I get to the end of the year polls? Now is also a good time to review the CP Listener Poll/Top 40 for 2021. We’re only six months away from talking about the Best of 2022.
