For decades, Philadelphia has been home to a wellspring of great new music, providing a launching pad and nurturing community for scores of nationally-recognized bands, singer-songwriters, instrumentalists and producers, across the spectrum of genres — and we’re excited to be along for the ride.

WXPN Local puts a weekly spotlight on the up-and-coming artists from the tri-state area, giving you two ours of the best new local area releases and our long-running series The Key Studio Sessions, presenting recordings of exclusive live performances, taped right here in the WXPN performance studio.
