Presenting the All-Philly 4th of July on WXPN!

Whether you’re grilling in the backyard or going down the shore, soundtrack your 4th of July holiday with the music of our hometown.

This Monday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., WXPN Local’s John Vettese is your host and guide through the All-Philly 4th of July, a 14-hour day of programming celebrating the sounds of Philadelphia from John Coltrane to Japanese Breakfast, Cameo Parkway to Lame-O Records. (UPDATE: Find Apple Music and Spotify playlists of the music heard on WXPN’s All-Philly 4th of July down below!)

Tune in all day long for special features like:

THE ‘FESTIVAL FAVORITES’ HOUR — from 9 to 10 a.m., we’ll listen to recordings of beloved Philly bands performing live at the XPoNential Music Festival, and we’ll preview the stacked slate of local artists who will rock the stage this year.

THE ‘PHILLY MADE’ HOUR – we’ll dedicate the noon hour to artists from out of town who came to Philadelphia to tap into our creative energies — Young Americans to Baduizm and beyond.

THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA EXPRESS — from 4 to 6 p.m., we’ll pack the airwaves with classic Philly Soul care of Gamble & Huff, Philadelphia International Records, and Sigma Sound Studios…it’ll be a two-hour love train, for sure.

You’ll also catch spotlights on eras (the 80s! the aughties!), scenes (Psychedelphia! Black Lily!) and genres (jazz! folk!).
