Here’s what’s been playing on our airwaves and stream for the past week. Women are on top with the British all-girl Savages, coming to Madison on Friday, May 20 at High Noon Saloon and Lizzo, who was just in town last Friday at Majestic Theatre. Cloud Cult‘s Saturday night party at the Barrymore was also celebrated, as well as Greg Abate and Phil Woods’ Jazz on a Sunday performance hosted by Madison Music Collective at the Brink. We’ve been having a lot of fun with the Black Sabbath Deluxe reissues, which are available as pledge premiums along with tickets to the Savages and other upcoming shows by Natty Nation, Dub Foundation, Black Tusk/Holy Grail and many more. Discover new music with WORT, and please show your support for independent artists and radio during our pledge drive, now through Saturday, March 5!!
