WXPN public radio (88.5FM in the Delaware Valley) is celebrating The Philly250 Songs For, By, and About Philadelphia project in honor of the city’s musical legacy and America’s 250th anniversary. Many eyes are focused on Philly because the great American experiment all started here. Keeping in mind the “Sound of Philadelphia,” Live Aid and Live 8, the clubs, studios, and stages, the station is asking for your opinion: What are Philadelphia’s memorable music moments, events, and songs that stand up and stand out? For example: The inaugural Roots Picnic in 2008, Sister Rosetta Tharpe moving to Philly in 1957, or G Love’s “I-76,” or maybe songs from artists like Teddy Pendergrass, Chubby Checker, Patti LaBelle, Jazmine Sullivan, and Jill Scott. Submit songs that are “for, by, and about Philadelphia,” as well as key Philly-centric music moments to be highlighted on air.
The deadline for submissions will be this Thursday at this link.
