That hammy kid in the photo is me! Even back then, I really wanted to be a DJ. And now I am at CHIRP Radio, a volunteer-driven, listener-funded, commercial-free station! We're not like other stations--we're real people telling real stories about the music that matters, and it's because of supporters like you that CHIRP is commercial free and committed to playing local and underheard artists. Please consider donating $5, $10 (or more) to community radio!
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).
