Hey Man! Records on Vinyl Voyage Radio

I love supporting independent artists. Our goal here at Vinyl Voyage Radio is to simply play the best music, both past and present. I recently met with Rick Vines from Hey Man! Records in Chicago. Last fall, we featured his new album for the month of September. It's a great album and one thing I can say: Chicago is full of artists like Rick who deserve to be heard.

That is why we feature new music and new artists every month. To give you, the listener, something different---something perhaps better than what you'll get from traditional streaming services.

This month, we are featuring artists exclusively from the Hey Man! Records family. We have over 120 tracks from recent Hey Man! releases in rotation, with extra doses on Thursdays throughout the month of May. Take a listen. You may love what you hear.

More information about the artists can be found at Hey Man! Records.
