For Black History Month, WYEP has asked some special guests to tell us which artists they're celebrating throughout February!

Slide into the experimental blues and folk-type storytelling of Benjamin Booker's "Show and Tell," get into your feelings with Japanese Breakfast's "Orlando in Love," and feel the energy of The Cure's "All I Ever Am" — here's what's new in WYEP's rotation this week.

The last surviving original member of The Band passed away this past Tuesday at the age of 87. WYEP pays tribute to multi-instrumentalist Garth Hudson.

Pittsburgh rockers Jack Swing joined us on Friday, Jan. 24 for a Live & Direct Session. Led by Isaiah Ross, the band released their new album "Like Water" on Friday, too.

This week on “What’s Spinning,” we experience the new soulful, jazz-influenced album from the late Mac Miller; We fall into the pure vocals and emotions of Lucy Dacus; And delight in the rich piano melodies from My Morning Jacket.

Club Cafe has closed its doors after 25 years, but WYEP and the South Side venue had a long history of partnering with live concert broadcasts.

This week on “What’s Spinning”, we dive into 2025 with new music from The Lumineers, Julien Baker & TORRES, Teddy Swims, Deep Sea Diver, and newcomers to the airwaves including Brittany Davis and Kashus Culpepper.

Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk spent a couple of years in solitude. He built his own recording studio, spent time gardening, and ample amounts of time with books, records, and dreams. What began to surface was his fifth studio album, “Revelation.”

The Cure were chosen in 2019 by The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio to be inducted into the historic venue. They formed in 1976, but dominated the “Alternative Rock” airwaves in the 80’s and 90’s to become one of the first Alternative bands to find mainstream success through post-punk, goth rock and alternative sounds, led by Robert Smith’s dark, introspective, and mysterious lyrics.

Thanks for joining WYEP on New Year's Eve and Day to ring in 2025 with a listen back to the Best Songs of the Past 50 Years. We've re-aired the top songs of our listener-voted countdown as we wrapped up WYEP's 50th anniversary year.
