In March, we’re celebrating Women’s History Month. In a world where many remember women artists could not be played back-to-back, women have always had a more comfortable home at The Current than elsewhere on the airwaves. In 2021, 68% of the top 44 songs played on The Current were by women or prominently featured women. Similar stations in other markets reported only 13.6%, according to industry data.

But to take that dedication even further during this important month, The Current brings back The Siren, a 24/7 DJ-curated stream that honors and amplifies the sounds of women’s voices and music.

Saturday, March 8, is International Women's Day, a global day, honoring the achievements of women. From Sister Rosetta Tharpe leaving her mark on rock and roll to Beyoncé breaking barriers in country music, The Current is celebrating the music and contributions of women and femme artists all day.

All month long, we’ll be educating and entertaining listeners—featuring the important roles women have played throughout history, enchanting, electrifying, and educating all of us. That sound you hear? It’s The Siren calling out to our audience.

Listen to The Siren right here.
