Aimee Bobruk Live Tuesday @ 10:30 AM
Huntsville, TX-born folk singer/songwriter Aimee Bobruk now lives in Austin, where she connected with producer Darwin Smith to record her latest The Safety Match Journal. Utilizing household items and non-traditional instruments including an old doorbell and hubcap rims dipped in water, Bobruk and Smith were in search of a sound to take the music beyond the standard folk or rock genre stamp. Hear Aimee Bobruk with her band live in Studio 1A Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. on Eklektikos before her show at Hickory St Bar and Grill Thursday night.

About Our Host
John Aielli
Work/on-air history:John Aielli came to U.T. as a student in 1966 and started as a part-time on-air host at KUT. By 1970, he was a full-time host and had expanded his show's playlist beyond classical to include folk and jazz. He also made a conscious effort to support and provide an outlet for the local arts community. Eklektikos was born.
"I always wanted to expand classical music into a more generally-heard forum... I was also trying to get the classical people to lighten up and stop thinking that classical music is the only kind of music in the world and start listening to other things," he says. "I think there is room for all of it and all of it together, not in separate pockets."
John's now well-known for his broad musical tastes and is a beloved Austin institution. He has been honored many times by listeners in the Austin Chronicle's Reader's Poll: Best Radio DJ (2006), Best Morning Radio Host (1990-1992, 2001-2003), and Best Talk Radio Host (1996, 1998, and 2000).
