noncomMUSIC Alliance: Turn on Wyoming Sounds. You’ll Hear a Friend on the Radio.

We are pleased to partner with the noncomMUSIC Alliance to showcase how public radio music bridges divides across the country and plays a unique role in supporting access to music in rural communities.

Every weekday morning at 9 a.m., Wyoming Public Media’s Wyoming Sounds fills the airwaves with an eclectic mix of Americana, folk, and contemporary music — with Wyoming artists woven throughout. For a decade, the program has created a musical community from Casper to Jackson, Lander to Laramie and all across the state, connecting musicians with audiences and artists with each other.

“Wyoming is unique,” says Suzanna Morrison, whose band A Band Named Sue topped Wyoming Sounds’ listener picks for best Wyoming releases in 2025. “If you’re going to listen to Wyoming Public Radio, you’re going to hear a friend. Musicians across the state, we are a tight-knit community. Where else could you turn on a station and you’re going to hear your friend, or you’re going to discover a new potential friend? Nowhere else.”
