WTTS is celebrating 20 years of World Class Rock this summer. We will be sharing the songs, sounds, and memories from the past two decades every weekday from Monday, July 16th through Friday, August 10th at noon and 6pm. We will also recap five years every Saturday morning from 6am-11am.
All of this will lead to the WTTS 20th Anniversary Concert with Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, and Cracker on the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park on Sunday, August 12th.
