Music from the Sunshine State is a series of radio programs that presents for the first time a sample of the traditional music of the people who call Florida home. Florida's population is one of
the most culturally diverse in the fifty states, and this rich diversity is reflected in the music made and enjoyed
by Floridians. The music presented in the series ranges from seldom-heard archival field recordings from the
1930's to high-fidelity digital recordings made in the artists' communities and selected
commercial recordings. Interviews with the artists, which provide insights into the cultural contexts of the
music, are included in each program.

Music from the Sunshine State is distributed to public radio stations, free of charge, via the Public Radio Satellite System.
Radio stations download the programs from the satellite and broadcast them at a later date. Interested listeners should contact their local
public radio stations to inquire about broadcast dates and times. The Florida Public Radio Network Web
