Think Local First | DC Locals Mean Business!

Dates have been set for the next two DC Local Music Days!

Wednesday November 9th & Wednesday December 7th

Last month over 25 local businesses across the city partnered with Listen Local First and Think Local First, and streamed a playlist of 8 local artists all day. DC Local Music Day received massive media attention with articles in the Washington City Paper and The Washington Post as well as in many local blogs and media outlets. The next two month will only be bigger and better with new musicians, greater public outreach and additional (optional) in store material about the artists and their albums.

Local Music enhances Local Business
Jocelyn Haas from Tryst said, “Tryst, The Diner and Open City were proud to be apart of Think Local Firsts, Listen Local First day. It was a great opportunity to highlight and support local musicians. Throughout the day we were able to pass along the names of many fantastic local artists to our customers who were enjoying what they were hearing. We look forward to participating in the next Listen Local First event!”

How to Participate?
Participating business will simply need either a internet connection that is hooked up to their sound system or a way to stream an MP3 file of the playlist we would provide for you. In order to conform to the legalities of public performances of music, and to support and pay the musicians, each business will be asked to pay a $20 fee each month in order to participate. This fee will be collected from each business and will be divided evenly between the 8 local featured artists. A small fee to support local music and internet connected to your music system is all we ask of you in order to be considered a maverick in support of local music.
