Join us for #WhyListen, a first listen music party and music conversation from West Virginia Public Broadcasting & NPR Generation Listen on Sunday, August 28 from 4-6pm at Town Run Brewing in Shepherdstown, WV. Doors open at 3:45pm.

Listen to new music from West Virginia and beyond & chat about it with our music panel featuring Larry Groce (NPR's Mountain Stage) and Joni Deutsch (West Virginia Public Broadcasting's A Change of Tune) and Jordan Hudkins (Martinsburg native & Rozwell Kid rocker).





Enjoy local craft brews, order from Town Run Brewing's delicious menu,

and grab some free public radio / music swag.

Still don't know what to expect? Check out one of our recent #WhyListen events. (Spoiler alert: they've been awesome.)



The August 28 event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. RSVP's are required on this page (whylistenWV.splashthat.com).
