As of this week, The Incredible Sandwich record can be heard on 31 stations across the United States—and the number of stations accepting the songs is only growing.
Radio stations range from KMUD in Redway, Calif. to WKRL in Syracuse, NY. Most of the stations play the songs in regular rotation, while others only play The Sandwich songs during specialty formats, such as jazz shows or Grooveyrock specialty shows.
The following are comments from two of the stations:
“This will get played a lot.” -Tampa, Fla. station
and
“This truly is incredible. I’ll play every track.” -Howard, CO station
A radio station in Tampa also recently interviewed the band members on air.
Check back later for a complete list of stations to see if you can hear TIS in your area.

In a story that ran in the Thursday, August 20, 2009 edition of the paper, The Athens Banner-Herald profiled the amazing efforts of both Ryan and Jill Kelly in running Mule Train Records and implementing a new music festival in Athens.
April Moore Skelton wrote the story. On the Athens Life Unleashed Blog (run by the Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau staff), she commented on the Mule Fest announcement with the following:
I really enjoyed talking to Ryan and Jill Kelly, the founders of Mule Train Records and Mule Fest about their plans for the label and growing the festival. They are some of the most ambitious people I’ve ever met.
Also, jake—a small magazine published by The Athens Banner-Herald—reprinted the story in their August 20-26 issue.
Now’s the time we need your help. As you might know, The Incredible Sandwich won the Athens Waka Winter Classic, which means they are playing at the Wakarusa Music Festival this summer. However, 19 other bands from across the country won as well.
