NPR’s All Songs Considered began in 2000, long before on-demand streaming began to reshape the way people hear music. Sixteen years later, the show is still kicking — even thriving, having become one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes.

To recognize 16 successful years of music discovery, All Songs Considered hosts Robin Hilton and Bob Boilen are throwing a Sweet 16 party at D.C.’s 9:30 Club Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. Pop experimentalist Dan Deacon co-headlines the bash alongside singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, with more special guests to be announced. No surprise, tickets have already sold out.

Lucky for you, WAMU’s Bandwidth.fm is giving away free tickets to the show. Want in? It’s easy. Just be one of the first to fill out this form below, and we’ll add you to our guest list. But act quickly! These spots will move fast.
