Kent District Library Launches KDL Vibes

Kent District Library is pleased to introduce KDL Vibes, a commercial-free streaming service that gives local musicians a platform to share their music and gives patrons a portal to all of the awesome music that these artists have to share. With the help of a team of curators, which is comprised of musicians and music advocates, KDL has built a collection of albums that represents all the awesome sounds of West Michigan. 

“Our hope is that we can help to showcase and share all of the great talent in the area, and that residents of Kent County and beyond can now dive into the eclectic music scene that is West Michigan – one that they might never have known even existed,” said David Specht, Digital Marketing Strategist.

New albums will be added to the collection on a regular basis. Featured musicians are paid an honorarium for their contribution, which is a way for KDL to support our vibrant arts community.  Musicians looking for more information or who have any questions can visit vibes.kdl.org/faq or email the team at vibes@kdl.org.

KDL Vibes is powered by MUSICat, a software that was designed by Rabble and has been adopted by libraries across the country for similar local music streaming projects.
