During the first year of COVID-19 in the U.S., the online record store Bandcamp waived its revenue once a month on sales of music and merch sold by artists on its site.
Instead of taking a cut of sales, it allowed the musicians to earn a little more.
The offer was so popular that it continued off and on after the pandemic.
On Friday, March 7, Bandcamp Friday is back.
This is a good way to supports artists, and you may find something that you can’t hear on Spotify or other streaming services.
One example: Seattle punks Fan Club (formerly Lysol) offers some songs I can’t find on Spotify. Same goes for experimentalists 75 Dollar Bill.
You can buy digital downloads or order physical music as well as T-shirts and other merchandise.
Bandcamp announced some future dates for the same promotion. Check them out here.
