Philly Station Honors New Artists

Up-and-coming performers may have an “in” with WXPN(FM)’s new “XPN Award” program.
Singer songwriter Damien Rice is slated to pick up the first honor on July 20 during the Philadelphia station’s Singer Songwriter Weekend. The non-commercial public radio station will help intro Rice to the United States with ongoing promotions.
“Over the years, we’ve given talented singer songwriters much needed airplay for their music,” said Bruce Warren, WXPN PD. “We’ve also worked very hard to give our listeners something they really value – a first look at artists who we believe may have a huge influence on the music scene.”
