Support Local Artists With the First Bandcamp Friday of 2021
Bandcamp Friday was instrumental in helping musicians make ends meet during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Now it’s back for 2021.
If you’re not wise to Bandcamp, they’re the music discovery site that puts the most money into the hands of artists that create music. Like, way more than Spotify or Pandora or any of the others. If you’re not wise to Bandcamp Friday, here’s the skinny:
On the first Friday of every month since March, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support the many artists who have seen their livelihoods disrupted by the pandemic. Over the course of these nine days, fans paid artists and labels $40 million dollars, helping cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and much more. If you’re among the nearly 800,000 fans who participated, thank you.
So it’s a win-win: you get cool music, and your money goes directly to the artists that make it. You can click here to start discovering music. Oh, and you can check out my Bandcamp page here to see (and hear) what I’ve been listening to.
