This evening’s episode of The Softer Side with Carl Rossi ushers in KNCT’s 250 Years of Independence Celebration Weekend, a musical salute to the spirit of America and the timeless songs that have carried us through generations.

Carl opens the show with Neil Diamond’s classic “America,” a powerful anthem of hope and unity that sets the tone for a weekend of reflection and pride. From there, the playlist moves through a tapestry of melodies that celebrate freedom, perseverance, and the shared stories that define our nation’s journey.
As KNCT honors this milestone in American history, The Softer Side reminds listeners that music has always been part of the heartbeat of our country—connecting communities, inspiring change, and offering comfort through every era.
Carl’s selections tonight blend nostalgia with gratitude, weaving together songs that speak to the beauty of independence and the enduring strength of the American spirit.
Tune in at 5 p.m. on KNCT FM 91.3 or stream online at myKNCT.com as we begin a weekend of celebration, reflection, and song.
Happy Independence Day from KNCT—celebrating 250 years of freedom, together.
