Marc Fort

My KUTX // June 25, 2022

Like a lot of people in the Austin music scene, Marc Fort doesn’t wear just one hat. After spending almost two decades at the Texas Music Office, he just became the new marketing and communications manager for the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). Fort has also played bass in a variety of Austin bands, including Schatzi–which reunites on September 3 for a live show–Fuckemos, and Bo Bud Greene. You can catch him around town spinning all vinyl DJ sets, or hear his radio show Ear Candy 2.0 on Monday evenings on KOOP 91.7 FM.

This week on My KUTX, we’re handing the reins to this Austin music lifer for a great guest DJ set. Fort conceives of this hour as his personal “radio heaven”: the songs he’d most like to hear on repeat in the afterlife. Hear Marc Fort’s My KUTX on Saturday, June 25 at 6 p.m. or listen anytime at the top of the page.
