Appalachian Hours: Sundays from 10 AM to noon

Luke Neer is a Charlottesville native (he prefers that term compared to “townie”). His love of music began at age 11 when he picked up his first banjo. Several years later he was given a guitar and the rest is history. He’s chased the music from the festival scene, to competitions, to routine jam sessions in Virginia and North Carolina all the way to a spot behind the mic on 106.1 the Corner. When he’s not on-air you can find him enjoying Appalachian culture in the mountains, or at a gig, but also in town at a brewery or a local restaurant.
