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.

Friday evening, September 2, 2016, from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am (Central Time Zone), D.J. el Serpentine and “The Rattlesnake Shake” program present a special tribute show to the late legendary guitarist Tommy Bolin, and Bolin’s final recorded release from September 1976, the critically acclaimed and certified gold album “Private Eyes”!

This 3 hour special will feature interview segments produced especially for this program, featuring keyboardist Mark Stein (Vanilla Fudge) and drummer Bobby Berge (Zephyr, Buddy Miles Band) who are both on the “Private Eyes” album. Archival interview sections with Tommy Bolin himself will augment this exposé about this classic record.

Expect music not only from “Private Eyes” but also demo recordings of the songs from that release, outtakes, works in progress, extended jams, and live material from the Tommy Bolin Band’s Fall 1976 tour. Included will be recordings from the concert Tommy Bolin played on the last night of his life, opening for Jeff Beck, December 3, 1976, in Miami, Florida.

Please tune in on September 2nd! WORT-FM can be streamed live in HD through WORT’s website via the “Listen Live” link on our home page. Also, the program will be archived for replay (for a 2 week period) after the show airs, by visiting the WORT website’s Audio Archive section, and playing the links for Sept 2 (11:00 – midnight “Below The Radar”) and Sept 3 (midnight to 2:00 am “Rob’s Music Shop”). ENJOY, and come taste the man one more time!
