How do I get my music played on WORT?

We accept submissions in most genres and styles of music, focusing on noncommercial, out-of-the-mainstream, independent releases (check out our playlists and music charts for more information.) It may take up to a few weeks for us to review and process your submission so we appreciate your patience, and feel free to contact us to follow up. Please send your music, indicating any tracks with language that needs to be aired after 10 pm and including a one-sheet description and any biographical and tour information, to WORT Music Director, 118 S. Bedford St, Madison, WI 53703 and/or to musicdirector@wortfm.org.

We do accept digital files on .wav or mp3, but currently we still prefer CDs to digital submissions because it’s the quickest way to get it into the hands of our programmers and onto the airwaves, though we have a growing digital library. Digital submissions should be .wav or other lossless files, or high quality mp3s [128-320 kbps.]

You can follow up or “track” your submissions by email, or call 608-256-2001 on Wednesdays between 1-4 pm CST to ask if we received it, has it been reviewed, has it been added to our library, and what kind of airplay it’s getting—e.g. light, medium, heavy or charting. Thanks and we look forward to hearing your music!

WORT Music Playlists

What was that song I heard? Who was the artist, what is the album title, where can I get it? Where can I find the entire playlist for a show?

Click on the Playlists button to bring up a calendar where you can choose any date to find the playlists for that day. If you can’t find the right playlist or the song you’re looking for, your best bet is to call the station the next time that program’s on and ask the host yourself. If that’s not possible we may be able to help you, but please have as much information as possible at hand when you contact us, such as: approximate day and time the music was played, what type or genre of music it was, who hosted the show and any other information you remember about the selection and we’ll do our best to track it down.

Once you figure it out, there’s a “Buy It!” link next to each track in online playlists that leads you to a place where you can buy songs and albums, and by doing it that way a small portion of each purchase goes to support WORT.

Madison’s annual Latin Music Fest is a major gathering of Dane County’s Latino Community, held for the last 10 years on the night before Thanksgiving. Several WORT programs will feature music and opportunities to win tickets to the show on Nov. 22 at Liquid Lounge (see below.) This year’s event has special meaning, as it is a benefit for The Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Fund of South Central Wisconsin. Many Madison residents have family and friends affected by the devastation of Hurricane Maria and this show will raise money to help the island in its recovery.

Tune in to win tickets to the Fest on the following WORT shows: Blues Cruise (6-8 pm, 11/17) Tropical Riddims (noon-2 pm, 11/18) La Junta (4-6 pm, 11/18) and Global Revolutions (9 am-noon, 11/18.) Doors open at 8 pm and you can get dancing early to the hot sounds of DJ Rumba and DJ Chamo. Live performances start at 9 pm and include Grupo Candela, Tony Castañeda Latin Jazz Band, Orquesta Salsoul del Madison, and Con Cache from Milwaukee. There will also be a special dance performance by Salsabrosa Dance Company of Milwaukee.

The Latin Music Fest on Nov. 22 is an 18 and over event at Liquid Lounge, 624 University Ave. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of show.

Come out and get your groove on to some fantastic music for a very good cause!
