There's Still Time for a "Summer Song" with Chad & Jeremy in Madison

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.

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!

Chad & Jeremy will perform at The Brink Lounge on Wednesday, October 19 at 7:00 pm.

What do Downton Abbey, Batman and The Jungle Book have in common? They all employed the acting talents of the 60’s British Invasion folk rock duo, Chad & Jeremy, who are coming to town on October 19!

Not known for their acting skills together, Chad & Jeremy were a British folk rock duo from the 60’s. You might not think you know this group, but if you grew up anywhere around the 60’s, you have heard of them. Think of the beautiful lyrics “Trees… swaying in the summer breeze, showing off their silver leaves, as we walked by” in “A Summer Song”. Or the melancholy “For me you were the one, but that was yesterday and yesterday’s gone” in “Yesterday’s Gone”.

Noted on the popular 2015 series Mad Men, featured on the Rushmore soundtrack, and playing a fun role on the 60’s show Batman where Catwoman stole their voices, Chad & Jeremy have a well-rounded musical and acting career. Chad voiced one of the vultures in the Disney animated film Jungle Book, and most prominently, Jeremy played General Robertson in Season 2 of Downton Abbey!

Chad & Jeremy are coming to the Brink Lounge on Wednesday, October 19. The show is hosted by Live at Rick’s, a local promoter that brings high-quality shows to the Brink Lounge. Guests are provided with a listening room experience, free of the chit-chat and bar noise prevalent at other music venues, so you will be guaranteed to hear all of the Chad & Jeremy hits and their charming stories in between songs.

This is an historic concert, as Chad & Jeremy have not toured in Wisconsin since the summer of love in 1967! Who knows if they’ll be back again, so be sure to get your tickets early at www.rickleighmusic.com/events-tickets. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 day of show.
