Since our beginning, KZSM has nurtured and supported the vibrant San Marcos music scene with our Kissing Alley concert series and especially with our programming. More than ten of the more than twenty music shows on KZSM 104.1 and KZSM.org feature performers from San Marcos and the surrounding area, many of them live in the studio. On “Revolving Door” (Sundays 5-7 p.m.), anyone who wants to play live can arrange for an appearance.
In the wake of our expansion to the FM dial, we’re expanding our support of the San Marcos music scene with the First Annual San Marcos music awards (SMMA). The Awards are the brainchild of Justin James Bridges, host of “Sundays Free with JJB” (Sunday 11 p.m.-Mondays 1 a.m.) As a national touring musician who has recently relocated permanently to San Marcos, he brings an enduring passion for the San Marcos music scene.
“There is too much talent that comes through this town to not have a way to recognize the artists and the work they put into their craft,” he declares. 'The San Marcos Music Awards are something we in the music scene were talking about over 10 years ago, and it is long overdue.'
