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.

Fresh off their show-stopping performance at The Willy Street Fair, Meghan Rose & The Bones performed on ‘Songs of Safety and Manners’ hosted by Ted Offensive last Friday, Sept. 25. SOSAM airs from 8-11 pm on WORT 89.9 FM and the live music runs from 10-11 pm. Like all of WORT’s programs, the show can be streamed via wortfm.org and is also available to hear on demand for the following two weeks.

‘The Bones’ is a project starring Madison musician and multi-instrumentalist Meghan Rose. She is also in feminist trash punk band Damsel Trash, “thoughtfully composed rock” outfit I Saw the Creature and versatile folk-pop group Little Red Wolf, among others. 2015 has been a great year for Meghan, as she took home awards from the Madison Area Music Association for Female Vocalist of the Year and for Bassist of the Year, and with her band Damsel Trash won awards for Hard Rock/Punk Song and Album of the Year, and with I Saw The Creature nabbed Blues Song of the Year as well. In addition, she won the title of 2014-15 Local Musician in The Isthmus’ annual MadFaves readers’ poll.

Having made a name for herself on the Madison music scene, Meghan has graciously agreed to showcase her vocal prowess and lively performance skills for the listeners of WORT. Her main songwriting influences are Indie queens Jenny Lewis and Neko Case. She is so dedicated to her craft that she made the trek up to Canada to work with Darryl Neudorf (who has produced for Neko Case) on her solo album.

What’s wonderful about an artist who has the talent and the guts to wear so many proverbial hats is that you never know what she is going to do next!

Listen to the archive from Friday night to hear for yourself.
