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.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
