About the show

Countrygirl Lexy is an acclaimed international radio personality who has spent more than 20 years broadcasting her love for American roots music to audiences across Europe and beyond. Based in Europe, Lexy is a long-standing star programmer on Radio ARA, a premier non-profit community radio station operating since 1992. Guided by her core belief that "my heart beats in the rhythm of great country music," Lexy has built a highly dedicated, global listener base that stretches all the way from the European festival scene back to the heart of Nashville. Lexy brings a uniquely global, open-minded perspective to her curation. She pulls double duty on the airwaves, running both her signature daytime program, Country Café, and her specialized late-night broadcast, Midnight Country, giving her listeners the perfect soundtrack for any time of day. On-Air Style & Sound A True Roots Buffet: Country Café is a masterclass in acoustic variety. While bluegrass and traditional country form the backbone of the show, Lexy frequently branches out into Americana, roots music, country blues, and independent singer-songwriter cuts. The Midnight Mood: Her companion show, Midnight Country, shifts the energy toward a more intimate, smooth, and relaxed late-night atmosphere, perfect for dedicated night-owl listeners. Listener-Driven Programming: Lexy is highly interactive and fiercely supportive of independent artists. She actively invites listeners and musicians from all over the world to submit their tracks and musical suggestions directly to the show. Bridging Continents: Her playlists beautifully cross borders, effortlessly blending classic American bluegrass legends with cutting-edge acts emerging from the booming European acoustic country music scenes.
