Calling all local musicians! We are now accepting submissions to KDL Vibes, our streaming platform that features music from West Michigan musicians.
KDL Vibes offers an online collection that showcases and shares current local music for free. Musicians who would like to have their music selected to be featured in the collection are invited to submit a sample track from their album by August 31 using the online form at vibes.kdl.org. After the submission period, a jury consisting of members of West Michigan’s local music community will review and make their selections. Musicians that are selected will sign a non-exclusive license agreement and receive an honorarium of $250 for sharing their music through Vibes.
