So, What'd You Think of Our #WhyListen First Listen Music Party?

If you’re reading this right now, chances are you made it out to last Sunday’s #WhyListen First Listen Music Party at Shepherdstown’s Town Run Brewing with MiBurg. If you did, we have a new music playlist waiting for you.

But first things first: Thanks for coming out and talking music with meMountain Stage‘s Larry Groce and Rozwell Kid‘s Jordan Hudkins! Your support makes cool #wvpublic events like this happen.

If you walked away with a new favorite song and want to see more of these #WhyListen events around the state, become a member of West Virginia Public Broadcasting. A gift of $10 or more helps us keep these events free and helps promote new #WVmusic from acts like Christian Lopez, Carolyn Malachi, Tim Browning & the Widowmakers, and more.

Either way, we want to hear from you. What did we absolutely nail at Sunday’s #WhyListen? What could we have done better? Click here to give us your feedback.
