Happy to announce our new Tuesday and Wednesday New Orleans Music Show hosts!

Cole Williams will be filling the show host seat on the Tuesday edition of the New Orleans Music Show, 11a-2p. In addition to her DJing skills, Cole fronts an African rock band with a pioneering sound and engaging stage presence. She joined WWOZ as a volunteer a few years ago and has been a steady presence at the station in a variety of facets ever since. Her foundation in classical piano (ages 4-17), church upbringing, and childhood love affair with her parents record collection provided her with the roots to broaden and she's never stopped since! Check out Cole's performance of 'Little Me' at WWOZ earlier this year below.
