SUBMIT MUSIC

The Penguin accepts music submissions by artists around the world. Our station largely plays rock and roll, Americana, and folk music. If you are submitting for a different genre we will check it out but cannot promise it will fit with our playlist.

If you wish to submit to a particular show, you can find the DJ's contact information at the show's page. Just pull down from the menu at the top to SHOWS and then choose the show you are looking for.

We prefer MP3s or download links. Email to [email protected].

Lighty's Corner: April 13, 2026

I’m one of those guys who hates it when people say that rock and roll is dead. That there’s no good new music today. I actually think there may be more good music now than ever, but it’s just harder to find. Since we get a ton of new music sent to us at New Jersey Stage each week, I decided to try something new - a recorded DJ hosted radio show and a column spotlighting new works. The plan is to have a new one every two weeks.
