WSRR: Star Christmas

WSRR Radio is teaming up with some of the hottest local and independent artists to release a PHYSICAL Christmas album!


WSRR is proud to announce the release of WSRR: Star Christmas, a brand-new holiday sampler album featuring ten original Christmas tracks from some of the hottest local and independent artists regularly heard on WSRR. Inspired by classic radio promo discs, Star Christmas showcases the diversity and creativity of the regional music scene, blending heartfelt ballads, alternative rock, genre-bending anthems, and off-beat holiday originals from Judelyn, Gavin Michaels, Silver Dollar, Zoloft, Jet Star, Andrew Myers, SL.AP, and The Whole Damn Affair.

WSRR: Star Christmas is now available for purchase exclusively through the WSRR website.

This project was funded entirely out of pocket by WSRR, with the intention of giving local artists a platform during the holiday season and offering listeners something fresh beyond traditional Christmas standards. All proceeds from album sales will go directly toward offsetting CD production costs and keeping local, independent music on the air.

Star Christmas reflects the heart of what WSRR is all about: Community, creativity, and supporting artists who don’t have the backing of a major label! We hope you will continue to support local music and spread some holiday cheer with WSRR: Star Christmas!
