And with COVID-19 putting a temporary halt to live music, now is the perfect time to begin sharing this playlist for you to enjoy from the safety of your own couch. While you’ll likely recognize some of these artists, there are many new ones that you’ll love to discover.

We’ll be adding new local music to our Spotify playlist every week for your enjoyment.

Yep, that means fresh local music. Free access all the time! Coming soon additional songs by The Styrofoam TurtlesHope GriffinBombassicVia and more!
