Joan Osborne is one of many artists you'll hear this month on Highway 309.

This weekly updated Spotify playlist is a comprehensive array of the broad new music added to the Highway 309 library.

In January, we added soulful sounds from Shungudzo and Joy Oladokun, blues from Joan Osborne and Colin James, deep country from Jacob Bryant, New Orleans gumbo from Mannie Fresh, Big Freedia, Galactic, and Dee-1, and so much more.

Folk, rock, pop, gospel, jazz, blues, Americana (and then some!) are all in play on Highway 309 and why we can say, “You never know what you’ll hear traveling Highway 309, but we guarantee it will be good.”

Listen to Highway 309 on-air weekends on WGLT and WCBU, and streaming 24/7 on both station websites.

Follow this playlist to track ALL the new music added to Highway 309 during 2022.

Jon Norton is the program director at WGLT and WCBU. He also is host of All Things Considered every weekday.
