Our winter member drive is highlighting music discovery: we're asking you to support The Current to help us continue to bring the best new music to you every day of the year. Every weekday at 11 a.m., that means the Song of the Day, an on-air and online feature offering a cool track for you to enjoy and even download. I asked Jade, The Current's midday host, to say a little more about how this feature works.

When people tune in to the Song of the Day, or subscribe to the podcast, what should they expect?

The song of the day is typically a brand new artist that we think is great, but are testing their sound out. An artist that’s coming to town, or a local artist that has given us an early taste of their upcoming album. It’s a great way to discover music way before it’s played anywhere else.
