A half-hour weekly show featuring in-studio performances from emerging independent musicians

Daytrotter was launched in 2006 by music critic Sean Moeller as a music website based in Rock Island, Illinois. Moeller?s idea was simple and unique in that he planned to post "Daytrotter Sessions," which are bands coming into the studio, recording original songs and then posting them on the website for free. Moeller shared this idea with music engineer Patrick Stolley, web developer Mark Hurty, and a few of his favorite illustrators. On March 23, 2006, Moeller posted the first Daytrotter Session with the indie band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.

Each Wednesday night on WXPN at 10:30pm, host Sean Moeller features in-studio performances from independent bands. These sessions are available for download from daytrotter.com.
