Celebrate WERS History: It’s Our Drive for 75!

This April, we will be gearing up to celebrate the 75th birthday of WERS! Since 1949, we have been serving the Boston community with music and joy. In our “Drive for 75” we will be raising funds to help us continue to bring you the music you love and help celebrate our 75th birthday. Plus, everyone who makes a donation is entered to win the best summer ever... FOUR concerts at Fenway Park!
