Coffee Break: National Redhead Day
by Nilufer Arsala and Jill Riley
November 05, 2026

Every year, November 5 is set aside to celebrate our friends who have red hair. Luckily, today is that day!
National Redhead Day was created by sisters Adrienne and Stephanie Vendetti in 2011 to encourage people to be proud of their red hair and distinctive features. Let’s join in the fun by creating a playlist of our favorite red-headed musicians.
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs by artists with red hair would you like to hear?
