DENVER (March 18, 2021) – After spending time on his “back porch” last week with the launch of his new Apple Music Country Back Porch Country Radio show, Outdoor Channel host Nick Hoffman (Nick’s Wild Ride, Mondays at 11:30 PM ET) plans to reminisce about the country music he loves and misses with his second show on Apple Music Country – I Miss…‘90s Country Radio – debuting Friday, March 19 at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT.

On his new bi-weekly show, Hoffman will guide listeners through an overview of one of the most genre- bending times in country music. The first episode will feature commentary from Deana Carter, Trace Adkins, Scott Hendricks and more.

“I grew up in the ‘90s,” Hoffman said. “I’m a fiddle player and a singer. So, needless to say, ‘90s country music is my jam! It’s the soundtrack of my life, and the soundtrack of so many other people’s lives. Creating this show gave me the opportunity to relive my favorite songs, discover ones that I had almost forgotten, and learn about the stories behind them.”

If some listeners are too young to know much about ‘90s country music, then Nick Hoffman hopes to help them discover some of his favorite country music of all-time and country music they may never have thought existed.

Listen live for free to I Miss…’90s Country Radio with Nick Hoffman every other Friday, beginning March 19 at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT, or anytime on-demand at apple.co/_IMissRadio on Apple Music Country.
