There's certain events that truly differentiate satellite radio from other forms of "radio" listening (be it internet radio, or regular boring old terrestrial radio), and the programming featured on the Fourth of July Weekend is one of them.
First off, there's Beach Party Radio, featured as part of The Strobe (Sirius Channel 81, XM Channel 83). All throughout your July 4th Weekend, you'll hear summer-themed party hits from a variety of genres guaranteed to be the ultimate soundtrack for July 4th parties, BBQ gatherings and beach-goers everywhere.
Then there's the Essence Music Festival where Sirius XM will be broadcasting live all July 4th weekend direct from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. This 3-day music celebration will feature Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, and more. Turn on channels Heart & Soul (Sirius Channel 51, XM Channel 62) and The Heat (Sirius Channel 50, XM Channel 68) starting on Friday July 2nd from 3pm ET through Sunday July 4th.
If party hits and R&B isn't your thing, then catch Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic on Willie's Place (Sirius channel 64, XM channel 13) starting Sunday, July 4th at 1pm ET. There you'll join Willie Nelson with live broadcasts direct from his annual 4th of July Picnic, plus all the exclusive backstage coverage at The Backyard in Bee Cave, Texas. In addition to Willie & Family, you'll hear legendary artists like Ray Price, Asleep at the Wheel, Leon Russell, Billy Joe Shaver, David Allan Coe, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Johnny Bush, Los Lonely Boys, Kevin Fowler, Jack Ingram and many more.
And lest we forget the entire reason why we're celebrating the Fourth of July, turn the dial to The 40s on 4 (Sirius channel 4, XM channel 4) to hear an all-day salute of patriotic songs performed by legendary musical icons. You'll catch such classics as "The Star Spangled Banner" performed by Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, "America The Beautiful" performed by Frank Sinatra and "The Stars and Stripes Forever" performed by Frankie Laine.
