Calling all Bay Area musicians! San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) is soliciting submissions for its free music streaming platform Bay Beats. Open through May 31, 2025, the Library will accept music for consideration in all genres, from jazz to soul, rap to rock, classical to world, New Age to noise and everything in between.

Musicians currently playing or recording in the nine Bay Area counties are eligible. Submission guidelines can be found at baybeats.sfpl.org/faq. Bay Beats will pay selected musicians a $250 honorarium for their participation, but artists are not required to grant exclusive rights to music on the site. Artists are encouraged to share their music as much as possible.

Anyone across the country and around the world curious to hear the sounds of the Bay Area can stream music on Bay Beats. More than 300 albums from top-rated solo musicians and bands from a variety of genres are available for anyone to listen, with or without a library card. SFPL cardholders have the added benefit of being able to download music. Additionally, the platform allows artists to curate their own band pages, so they can let their fans know the latest about upcoming gigs and new releases.

To take a listen, visit baybeats.sfpl.org.
