Well, your outfit is actually not at all the reason you can't go out these days. You are isolated in your house now as much as you were in March, but there is always the warm glow of radio to keep you company...we have been here all through this pandemic to provide you with much needed distraction and exposure to new music and frankly, it has given me a place of refuge and normalcy (as "normal" as disfecting the f%#k out of the studio inbetween shifts and doing my crossover banter with Joe via speakerphone is).

Financing the CHIRP is a lot in the best of times, and it is really tough when there is a pandemic that prevents us from being able to have events, go to street festivals and go to shows. We couldn't have either of the Record Fairs (an event near and dear to my heart) which are our biggest fundraisers. Money is tight all around. But if I have been a bright spot on Mondays or if the station in general has been here for you, please consdider a donation at any amount. Even $10 goes a very long way here. 

We've been here for you throughout this challenging year - now, we need you to be here for us!

This wasn't how we anticipated spending our tenth anniversary year. Instead of parties and open studio events, we've spent the last six months, one DJ at a time in a carefully disinfected studio, keeping you connected while we all worked to stay safe. We've worked hard to amplify the voices of local artists who can't play live and local venues who were first to close, and to help you feel less alone at a time when it's easy to feel distant from your community.

But we've been hanging in there, and we hope you have too. We're still here every single day, live and local, commercial-free, with great music brought to you by true music fans. If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we hope you'll support the station with a gift today.

If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit CHIRP's main donation page to make your contribution (and don’t forget to enter the name of the CHIRP Volunteer or DJ in the “How did you hear about CHIRP” section so they can receive credit for your gift).
