It’s time to shine your dancing shoes, because this Saturday, April 11th, WOWD brings you Dance Party Radio.

THREE back-to-back 2-hour blocks of music for your boogie-down pleasure.

Call a friend, tell your neighbors, and turn up the tunes on your porch or in your kitchen, wherever your dancefloor is these days. From 4-6PM, Brian plays shoe-shuffling selections on Roadside Attraction. From 6-8PM, Becky and Chris play hip-shaking beats on Roots & Wings. And from 8-10PM, DJ Demsey spins funky grooves on Divino Maravilhoso.

That's SIX hours of Dance Party Radio this Saturday night, with love from WOWD. 

Turn it up, and get down.

The finalists for the 2020 Wammie Awards were announced on February 12. WOWD's popular FORBIDDEN ALLIANCE show was nominated in their Music Media category.

Forbidden Alliance, co-hosted by Robbie and Weasel, provides a platform for DMV rock musicians to tell their stories, and to play their music and the music that influenced them.  It airs Sundays from 9 AM to Noon.  As noted in the Wammie nomination, "Weasel and Robbie have encyclopedic and historical knowledge of the local scene as well as the greater underground and pop music scenes . . . "

"We at WOWD are proud that Forbidden Alliance has been recognized for what it is -- an incredible and unique radio resource giving voice to DC rock & roll history," says Program Director Steve Hoffman.

Nominations were selected by public voting.  A panel of expert judges will determine the award winners, announced at a public gala event on Sunday, March 29 at the Lincoln, the culmination of  a "Wammie Weekend" celebration of DC musicians.  The Wammies are administered by The MusicianShip, a nonprofit group focused on music education for at-risk youth.
