PUBLIC RADIO MUSIC MONTH

This April, music-oriented public radio stations across the country will be celebrating the essential role that they play in championing and preserving a diverse array of musicians and music styles for millions of listeners.   Public radio music stations are tastemakers, teachers, and curators of local culture. They bring innovative new sounds from emerging artists.  Classical music and jazz exist on the airwaves today because of public radio. 

Audiences look to public radio stations every day for interviews and performances, introductions to new artists and a trusted ear and knowledge about genres such as blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass and indie rock. In this nationwide initiative, local public radio stations, musicians and fans spotlight the importance of this work.

Stations are partnering with artists and listeners to feature live concert broadcasts, exclusive interviews, in-studio performances and more.   Further, artists and labels will record testimonials and write op-eds to celebrate this first-ever nationwide event.

 

All this and more will be featured on PUBLIC RADIO MUSIC MONTH’s exclusive Tumblr blog and Twitter account throughout the month
