Friday 11/25
Black Friday Live @ EXT Marathon (9a-9p)
While we have had several studio sessions in the recent months, the artists have mostly been doing sessions virtually to keep themselves safer while on the road. That hasn’t dampened our desire to help you discover more new music, and to learn more about some of the artists we love. Artists recorded the sessions in their own homes. These special, often acoustic, versions are unique recordings, which have been a part of the #AtHome sessions we air each Friday at 12n. Throughout this day, we will feature these performances, and those from recent years.
