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’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
