Hi DJs! Here are the songs of the day on our website this week. It’s
usually a variety of genres – everything from alt rock to classical, but
this week it’s almost all Americana songs.

Just a reminder: these are videos created by our sister stations around the
country that we get to put on our website. It’s a great way to discover new
music or see videos of musicians we know and love. Please let your
listeners know about this feature, and tell them about the ones that fit
your show’s format.

Thanks!

Marisa

Hello,

Please see the Song of the Day information this week. If a video from your
station is featured, it will appear on around 30 public media websites
around the country in their “Song of the Day” video player. The following
best practices will maximize the impact for your local audience.

  • Make sure you have the “Song of the Day” player embedded on your
    website. If it’s not currently embedded and you would like it to be, reach
    out to Mark for the embed code (mark@vuhaus.com).
  • If your station has a video featured on the “Song of the Day” player,
    the day of the feature is a great day to push listeners to your station
    website via on-air and socials, and to ask your featured artist to
    do the same.

Here are the “Song of the Day” videos from NPR Live Sessions scheduled for this
week: August 4 – August 8.
