- Online – SomaFM Left Coast 70s is an internet-only radio station and is not broadcast on FM, AM/MW, LW, DAB Digital Radio, DAB+ or HD Radio.
SomaFM Left Coast 70s focuses on the softer, more carefully produced side of 1970s album rock. The station leans into the sound that blossomed around Los Angeles and spread along the West Coast: smooth guitars, relaxed rhythms, sharp session players and songs that sit somewhere between folk influence, soft rock polish and late-night FM warmth.
This is not a blunt 70s party playlist. Left Coast 70s is more specific than that. The station is built around mellow album cuts, yacht-friendly grooves, reflective songwriting and the kind of records that made sense on long drives, home stereos and FM radio when the decade’s rock scene started getting smoother and more spacious.
Based in San Francisco, SomaFM has built its name on human-curated internet radio channels with strong musical identities. Left Coast 70s fits that approach perfectly because it is not trying to cover every corner of the decade. It knows its lane: mellow West Coast album rock, soft-edged classics and carefully chosen 70s tracks with a relaxed but polished feel.
Notable Presenters & Shows: Left Coast 70s is music-directed by Rusty Hodge, the founder of SomaFM. Hodge also programs several other SomaFM channels and has described his taste as leaning towards mellow styles with a groove. Left Coast 70s is not a conventional presenter-led station with breakfast or drive-time shows; the draw is Hodge’s continuous curation of mellow 70s album rock and West Coast soft rock.
