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.

Drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, pianist Geri Allen, vocalists Lizz Wright and Gretchen Parlato, and just-added saxophonist Tia Fuller are all headliners in their own right, but they’ll be performing as a unit when Ms. Carrington’s Mosaic Project band takes the stage for the second concert in this year’s Isthmus Jazz Series in perhaps the most highly-anticipated jazz event of the season. Ms. Carrington is the first woman to win a Grammy in the Best Jazz Instrumental Album category, for her 2013 CD “Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue,” and her Mosaic Project CD took the Best Jazz Vocal Album Grammy in 2011.

Wisconsin Union Members & Non UW-Madison Students: $36, 32

PERCUSSION WORKSHOP WITH TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON. In this pre-concert program produced by Madison Music Collective, attendees will get to know Ms. Carrington and what it’s like to lead a band from the drums. She’ll speak about her experience coming up through the jazz ranks, how she was received on the scene as a young female drummer, and what it means to “set the groove,” in the process demonstrating some of her unique grooves, blends, and hybrids. She’ll also discuss her current projects, including the evolution of her Mosaic Project and why she chose the musicians she chose. Attendees will also have a chance to have their questions answered by Ms. Carrington.

3:00-4:30 PM, UW Memorial Union’s Shannon Hall.
Free admission.
