Photo: 105.5 The Outlaw


Asheville’s Outlaw 105.5 plays a unique blend of Classic Country hits, Southern Rock & Roll and Blues, Rockin’ Country Pop with a spattering of Bluegrass and Americana. Our playlist includes: Waylon, Willie, Hank, Johnny, Garth, Reba, The Allman Brothers, and Skynyrd…just to name a few.

The Outlaw is a refreshing blend of recognizable artists that every music fan knows and time-tested songs that contemporary radio stations stopped playing years ago. It’s targeted to 35-64 year old men & women, who started listening to Country and Rock music in the 70’s and 80’s and still want to hear the music they love but don’t want to miss more recent artists.

Skillfully blended hit songs; topical, friendly, and truly knowledgeable on-air personalities; and listener interaction through contests, requests, and specials make The Outlaw the perfect format for its “booming” audience. The Outlaw serves up Country Legends and Young Guns with an exclusive image voice to help keep consistency and flow to the overall sound of the station.

Asheville is a unique city—and the Outlaw is unique to Asheville radio listeners.
