❄️ Happy First Day of Winter from Delmarva Public Media! ❄️

Today marks the Winter Solstice — the shortest day and the longest night of the year. As the season begins, we’re celebrating the warmth that music brings, whether it’s classical pieces that sparkle like frost, jazz that glows like a fireside evening, or the storytelling spirit of folk and AAA artists that carry us through the colder months.

Wherever you are on the Delmarva Peninsula, we hope you find a little peace, a little light, and a soundtrack that brightens your season.

Stay warm, stay cozy, and keep listening.✨🎶
