Beats In Space with Tim Sweeney

Toronto-born George “Strombo” Stroumboulopoulos firmly believes in standing up for what’s right and helping others—and sees music as a conduit that brings people together and helps them become more engaged. “I love politically charged, heavy music,” Strombo says. “I love when music uses its energy to fight for others and help its own audience to learn and grow.” As host of STROMBO on Apple Music Hits, Strombo brings over three decades of music knowledge and on-the-mic experience—whether working at a pirate radio station in the ’90s, discovering underground talent on MuchMusic’s The NewMusic in the early 2000s, holding down The Strombo Show on CBC Music, or, more recently, welcoming us into his House of Strombo for intimate live sessions with some of the world’s most storied performers. On his namesake Apple Music Hits show, he hopes to continue to bridge the gap between artist and listener. “One of the things the show leans into is making connections between the artist you know and love and the artists that they know and love,” he says. “[It’s] strong storytelling underscoring why this music matters.” Join him on Apple Music Hits Monday through Thursday and Sunday, when he brings great music, personal stories, and artist interviews to STROMBO Radio.

There are few better ways to get to know someone than rifling through their record bins. On his new Apple Music Country show The Broken Jukebox Society, veteran musician and television personality Nick Hoffman does just that, digging through the eclectic, often surprising musical influences of some of today’s most popular artists. “I'm into what makes artists tick,” Hoffman tells Apple Music. “‘Why'd you write that song, you know? How'd you get to where you're at? The style that you have as an artist, how did you get there?’ I'm fascinated by the journey. So this show is all about nostalgia. It's less about the songs you have on the radio right now and it's more about how you got to them, how you got here.” As Hoffman puts it, The Broken Jukebox Society shines a spotlight on the “soundtracks of artists’ lives, taking the artist down the path of reliving the songs that made them who they are.” Country music is the show’s focus, but Hoffman’s far-reaching conversations with artists like Jordan Davis and Dustin Lynch often reach unexpected territory, too, like the influence of ’90s pop stars or early family memories of listening to classic rock artists like Tom Petty. “It’s super lighthearted, super fun, and there’s no rules,” Hoffman says. “Yeah, we focus on ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s country, for the most part, but there's no rules. It reveals a side of the artist that you wouldn't normally see.” Hoffman is a true multi-hyphenate, playing fiddle for artists like Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban, releasing music as a singer-songwriter and with country band The Farm, hosting the Outdoor Channel television series Nick’s Wild Ride, and so much more. His kaleidoscopic perspective on music and pop culture makes him the perfect tour guide for a meandering trip down musical memory lane. “Everybody has a soundtrack to their lives,” Hoffman says. “What’s yours?”
