🎙️ Why Experience Matters
Country music has many eras and styles — and not all of it works during dinner.
With years of experience in country radio broadcasting and wedding entertainment, DJ Brian Anderson understands:
Which country songs support conversation
How to blend eras smoothly
When to shift energy as dinner ends
That experience ensures dinner music feels just right.
