The best part about Pandora is that it is FREE! You just need to sign up using an email and password. I’ve been using Pandora for the last 10 years and I still love them today. If you have never used Pandora (or heard of it before) they match the artist that you pick (the station) to similar artists. You can vote and say you like or don’t like each song if you want and unlike normal radio, you can skip the song if you don’t like it.
I have quite a few Pandora stations saved on my account but there are a few that I immediately click on when I need to be uplifted or calmed down.
#1- Jack Johnson– Soothing yet catchy with great uplifting lyrics.
#2- Enya– Calming music, unique, mystical.
#3- Creedence Clearwater Revival– Fun music that will have you drumming along with the beat.
#4- IZ– Soothing with uplifting lyrics. Easy listening.
#5- Mumford & Sons– Folk rock music, blue grassy style. Super happy music.
#6- Matt Costa– Upbeat, great lyrics, light and enjoyable.
#7- Paul Cardall– Piano and other instrumental music. Beautiful soundtracks to popular movies. Very relaxing and calming.
#8- Elephant Revival– Beautiful vocals and lyrics. Relaxing and fresh.
#9- Ben Harper– Smooth Alternative.
#10- Josh Groban– Deep and rich yet uplifting (more of an opera style at times).
#11- Priscilla Ahn– Easy listening, great vocals, catchy tunes.
#12- James Taylor– An oldy but goody. Great lyrics and guitar music.
#13- Bon Iver– Wonderful soothing and very unique sounds.
#14- Michael Buble– Fun, catchy, upbeat, and uplifting station.
#15- Cherie Call– Motivational and enlightening lyrics with great music.
I hope these free radio stations brighten up, calm, and uplift your tough days.

I think that last artist is suppose to be the Weepies. I noticed that we shared some similar taste so I looked up some of the artist I did not recognize. All I can say is thank you. I’m enjoying the new variety.
Missy,
Yes it is. Thanks for the feedback I’m glad you are enjoying the music. I love Pandora!
I listen to some of these to calm me when I had to put my son in time out. It really does help change my mood! Thank for more suggestions, I will try them out. Ohmmm… 🙂
Jaclyn- Thanks for the comment. What a great idea of when to brighten a mood :). Great idea.
You would love Blind Pilot radio.
Marie- I’ll have to check into it, thanks for the recommendation!
What a fantastic list-thank you! Michael Buble has been a favourite station of mine for a long time, but I will have to try out the others ASAP.
Suzanne- That’s awesome! I’m so glad you are going to try these other stations out 🙂
I tried to find IZ but couldn’t pull it up.
May I also suggest Iron and Wine? I do so find their music peaceful!
Debbie, Great suggestion! I’ll try that station out. Thanks 🙂
Enigma radio is my go to station at work when I’m stressed.
Check out Eklipse as well. Contemporary songs using mostly string instruments.
Will do thanks for the suggestions on these stations!
When I can’t sleep my favorite Pandora station is Ray LaMontagne. Works every time!
i love Pandora and even advertise on Pandora locally. But I am soooo tired of piano music! Seems like almost every easy listening instrumental station I find has a large percentage of piano. I listen to Pandora exclusively in my office and would like a station that plays other soothing music like with an orchestra, some string instruments but not heavy classical. Can you suggest some stations?
Thanks!
Vickie- I recommend looking up Franck Pourcel or any film music. Film music is usually orchestral based and can be pretty mellow. Good luck 🙂
Pinned for future use. Thanks. I already do Josh Groban, but will try the others.
I came across your post this morning when I absolutely could not listen to the same songs that I’ve been hearing at work everyday. Great selection! I’m listening to Elephant Revival radio right now — similar style to what I usually listen to, but so far all new songs to me. Thank you so much! Another of my faves is Van Morrison radio.
Alison- Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you are enjoying these stations. I’ll have to try out Van Morrison!
Thanks for the post! #14- Michael Buble helped me to stay upbeat on a difficult Monday.
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
For me, I love older Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, like the really upbeat ones, those always keep me in a good mood or help when I need to get back into a better mood. Most of them make me feel like dancing and such too. Michael Buble usually helps too. But for some reason I love the first mentioned. I really love the Songza app, it’s one of my favs when I don’t know what I want to listen to, and want to listen based on mood. LOVE it
I too listen to many of your recommended stations! My new favorite is Rockabye baby! Highly recommend! ! 🙂
Sweet! thanks for the recommendation! I’ll give it a try!
I love piano instrumentals to relax–try anything by Beegie Adair, you can’t go wrong. I play that at dinner time to calm my kids down before/while we eat or in the car if I’m feeling stressed.
Great tip! I’ll have to try that one out. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Definitely going to check it out.
Thanks for this great list! How about Michael Franti – my absolute favorite feel good music with a great message.
Came across your blog today searching for new Pandora songs. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much Nick! Glad to have you as a neighbor!
