Celebrate the holidays with classics new and old from Michigan artists.

Fri. Dec. 23 at 11pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Enjoy holiday classics new and old with BackStage Pass! 

Saginaw's Rusty Wright Band opens with the bluesy, "Santa's in Jail," and The Lash closes with "Run, Run Rudolph;" in between classics like "Away in a Manger," from The Mickeys, and "Silent Night" from Thom Jayne.  Then alt-rockers Bowery add "Kisses for Christmas" to the songbook, and a highlight is the title song, "Merrily Caroling," from The Verve Pipe.

WKAR brings you trusted news, without barriers—no paywalls, no corporate spin. But now, federal funding that helps make it all possible is on the chopping block. Your support is more important than ever. Stand up for independent journalism in mid-Michigan—make your gift today.
