Bandcamp Friday Roundup; Wilmington Ladybug Music Festival 2023 Edition

The Shuffle

Jun 2

The Wilmington Ladybug Music Festival is TONIGHT and is full of fresh new faces this year and we’ve got a bunch of them gathered up for your discovery pleasure for this month’s Bandcamp Friday. 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!

Adia Victoria

Nashville singer, musician, poet and activist Adia Victoria is headlining this year’s Ladybug Music Festival. Her rendition of In The Pines on Bandcamp is hauntingly beautiful and the words she wrote in the description are enough to bring the toughest broads to tears. See her create magic through music on the Main Stage tonight at 9:15PM!

“ I dedicate ‘In the Pines’ to every teenage girl who is desperately scratching at the walls of ideological imprisonment. “
-Adia Victoria
