For Music Artists

I would love to play your music on KAOS (Olympia),  KMRE (Bellingham) and on my streaming show (Mixcloud).  However, it needs be music from Louisiana. New Orleans and Lafayette are my focus communities.  Secondly, and most important, I need to have access to your music.

I do an annual summary of new music, but only if I had a chance to play it.

During the COVID restrictions, its best if you send me a link where I can get your music electronically. You can leave a comment or email sweeneygumbo at gmail dot com.

Normally, when I am able to do the show in the KAOS studio, its best if you have a CD or vinyl. That way, we can put your music on our new music shelf in the KAOS studio where it will have a chance to played by other deejays at our open format, commercial-free station. Here’s how to submit to KAOS. During COVID, shows are prepared in my home.

Also, if you’re planning your tour (again after COVID) – please consider playing Olympia or at least the Northwest.  If you provide me details (by leaving a comment on this page or by email), I’ll put you on my music calendar.  Also, I’m happy to help you find a venue when performing in Olympia and we can try to arrange a time for you to perform in the KAOS studio . I work very hard to support New Orleans area musicians who tour our area.  Several performers in recent years who have had success in Olympia include Bon Bon Vivant, Davis Rogan and Helen Gillet.

KAOS, which broadcasts and streams Sweeney’s Gumbo YaYa, is a free form community radio station.  KMRE in Bellingham also airs the show a week later. I also podcast the shows.
