Bandcamp Friday Roundup; August 2023
Canadian wildfires got you down? Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about that, but we do have a fresh batch of local music for your listening pleasure. Check out this month's Bandcamp Friday roundup to listen and support some of your favorites on one of the best days in music. For anyone unaware, Bandcamp Friday is when the online record store and music community, Bandcamp, dedicates the earnings made on that day to waiving their fees. This results in more money going directly to the artists who deserve it. Stop by and spread a little local love and support if you enjoy it.
If you’re a local musician and have new music coming out, send it to us to be included here!
