John Cotter / Presenter
John Cotter presents American Beauty on Dundalk FM 97.7, a show dedicated to the full sweep of American music from its deepest roots to its most enduring popular forms.
American Beauty covers the breadth of what America has given the world through music: the country and bluegrass traditions rooted in the Appalachian mountains, the folk revival that gave political voice to a generation, the singer-songwriters who turned personal experience into universal art, and the rock and roll that changed everything. John’s knowledge of these traditions is both wide and deep, and the show reflects a lifetime of listening across the full range.
John is a valued member of the Dundalk FM volunteer community, bringing a specialist knowledge to the schedule that no other presenter on the station covers in quite the same way. American Beauty airs on the second and fourth Saturday at 6.00 pm on Dundalk FM 97.7 and is essential listening for anyone who loves music with a story behind every track.
