Ann Delisi's Essential Music

Ann Delisi

Saturday & Sunday 11am - 2pm

Ann Delisi's Essential Music is pure Detroit. Check out her completely and thoroughly unique view on the music that moves Detroit. New and breaking artists mingle with acts that suddenly sound new when placed in a creative music mix. Nobody listens to just one thing - and ADEM knows it. If it's shaping our culture, it's probably going to show up on ADEM.

 
Ann knows you can't be Essential + Detroit and leave out our city's incredible music scene. ADEM features music made in Detroit every hour. Bar bands, rhyme poets, bedroom beat mixers, turntablists, give WDET your music! (send it to Ann Delisi, WDET, 4600 Cass Ave., Detroit, MI 48201)

THANK YOU METROTIMES READERS!

You voted ADEM "Best Radio Music Show" for the second year in a row!

 Here's what the MetroTimes readers' picks had to say:

 

"Last year, the longtime local radio personality had barely gone on air at WDET-F before running away with the category. Since then she's developed her Saturday-Sunday show into a new sort of radio, trading heavily on listener involvement (is there ever a between-songs break that doesn't mention Facebook or listeners' lists of "essential songs"?) and the local scene."
