FIDO FRIDAY!

Live at 7:55 has always been a staple to the Y'd Awake Morning Show, but since all of the country artists are putting on quarentine shows, we figured we would start our own with local artists! First up we have our own Mary Lamb! You may have heard Mary filling in a time or two for one of our regular DJs, but now you can watch her on our Facebook Live! 

If you are a local artist and would like to be featured on our "Live @ 7:55", be sure to contact one of the morning show hosts!
