It’s Public Radio Music Day! The day celebrates the role of public radio in connecting musicians, performers, and artists with the audiences who love them. It’s the fifth year for the holiday, which also honors public radio listeners' bonds with one another.

The theme for this year’s festivities is “Bringing People Together: From Coast to Coast,” which public radio does each day through a shared love of music and support for the arts. Let’s join in on the Public Radio Music Day festivities by creating a shared playlist!
