Our January Volunteer of the month is a relative newcomer to the station, but you’d never know it. Tam Laird is always at hand, helping out with KOOP in a variety of ways. Like many volunteers, Tam has a show, “Fade To Yellow,” which airs on Tuesday nights at 9:00 pm during our afterhours internet broadcast. If you haven’t checked it out, it is well worth a listen. Tam spins music that speaks to him and is something that isn’t heard much on commercial radio including Post-rock, IDM, Electronic, Ambient and Drone.
