Admiral Radio | 2024 Tucson Folk Festival | Songwriting Contest Winners

Admiral Radio, winner in the Stefan George Memorial Songwriting Contest, performs on Saturday April 6, 2024 at the Tucson Folk Festival on the Plaza Stage at Jácome Plaza.

Inspired by the prior life of their 1941 wooden Admiral radio, Coty Hoover and Becca Smith make music to gather ’round to. This infectious husband-and-wife duo inspires every room with their thoughtful storytelling, tight vocal harmonies, and deep love for community. Having shared the stage with national acts like Del McCoury, Molly Tuttle, Judah & the Lion, Leftover Salmon, and more, Admiral Radio is quickly making waves across the country as a rising star of the Folk/Americana music scene.

The 39th Annual Tucson Folk Festival is Arizona's largest free to the public music festival. This annual family-friendly festival is held in some of the most historic sections of Downtown Tucson. The event celebrates Americana and Folk Music traditions and all the wonderful variations, including bluegrass, blues, country, jazz, Celtic, zydeco, and various styles of Latin and Mexican music! Presented by the Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association (TKMA) and the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance (SAACA).
