A musical "connect-the-dots"

3 hours of interactive live radio

Hosted by Ann Delisi & Rob Reinhart

$100,000 in free promotion for local, youth-based nonprofits

Special guests & chances for YOU to win great prizes!

Ann and Rob will be in-studio with one of our special guests. Everyone in studio will be playing for a local youth-based non-profit who will receive free promotion on WDET. You'll be playing at home via our page on Facebook. (You have to "Like" our page to play!) Visit wdet.org/musichead for more details.

A song will be selected from a list of pre-submitted listener suggestions. Our in-studio Music Heads will have to come up with the next two songs to play - each inspired by the song that preceded it.

YOU get to suggest the song they play next by submitting it through our page on Facebook. If your song is picked, you win a prize!

Ann, Rob and their guest will have to follow that song up with one last song to close the round.

The stream re-sets at the top of each half hour. There are six rounds and six chances to win!
