VuHaus Segues To NPRMusic.org
• NPR is excited to announce the launch of a new microsite, Live Sessions From NPR Music Stations Across America. In an effort to continue to leverage the public radio network and amplify its collective video content, the VuHaus.com website — which is curated by a group of public radio music stations deeply rooted in their local music communities — is transitioning into a new microsite, Live Sessions From NPR Music Stations Across America, as a section on NPRMusic.org.
Live Sessions will feature a mix of music videos curated by public radio music stations. Content will include in-studio performances, playlists, video interviews, and live webcasts. This initiative delivers content the public radio network is uniquely poised to deliver, reinforces public radio’s role as an engine of music discovery and fortifies public radio’s commitment to being storytellers of music, art and culture.
“Public radio music stations connect and document their local artists in a way that nobody else is capable of,” says Roger LaMay, GM of WXPN/Philadelphiaand VuHaus Board Chairman. “Live Sessions will connect all these great music cities in VuHaus to a wider audience.” Lauren Onkey, Sr. Director of NPR Music, commented, “NPR Music and public radio music stations share a mission: to serve our audiences by providing a platform for music discovery. Stations across the country have unique takes on regional, local and national music scenes, and they regularly welcome artists into the studio for one-of-a-kind performances. We’re excited to share the rich collection of videos produced by stations to a broader audience of music lovers.”
NPR Music’s partnership with VuHaus will increase distribution and exposure for station-produced content, and further facilitate the production of national content. Videos will continue to be curated and maintained by the VuHaus editorial team with editorial oversight from the NPR Music team. All NPR Member stations will have the opportunity to submit music content for inclusion on Live Sessions.
