Here we are at the end of February, creeping toward a year since we all started staying home. All that time at home combined with multiple streaming channels has led to possibly even more new music than usual by local artists, so much so that it would be a full-time job just to keep up with it all. And it would be a fun job, thanks to the creativity and range of sounds and experiences you can find out there. Read on for a sampling of what s caught my ear recently.
One reminder: Bandcamp is continuing the practice of waiving its fees on the first Friday each month through at least May, which makes Friday, March 5, a good day to support your local artists.
