Even a coronavirus pandemic can spark some positive change and boost opportunities for new connections.
Support our coverage of
West Michigan's music scene
Amid the absence of live music and unimaginable pain for musicians and concert venues, Local Spins has continued to provide coverage of West Michigan’s music scene – from the impact of COVID-19 on the industry to our usual features on bands and solo artists, including reviews of new music releases.
With many still sequestered at home, we think it’s the perfect time to amplify the relationships we have with our most devoted readers by introducing a new weekly newsletter. It’s a special, fun, one-stop offering of music news that not only spotlights some of our most attention-getting features and upcoming weekend happenings, but also boasts new and exclusive content available only to email subscribers.
Amplified First Edition: This week’s inaugural newsletter goes to subscribers today.
Local Spins “Amplified” officially launches today.
Join our email list for an inside look at our top stories as well as an exclusive song by a Michigan artist, our pick for a live-stream concert to watch over the weekend, a photo of the week, and select music news from Michigan and the United States.
There’s also a “Question of the Week” that gives us a chance to connect with you – our readers – and put your name into a drawing for Local Spins swag (and at some point, concert tickets).
The weekly newsletter will keep you close to Michigan’s music scene, especially during these uncertain times when communication is critical. And it’s free.
If you aren’t already on our email list, sign up here. Current email subscribers will automatically receive Amplified every week. And if you know someone who should be a Local Spins subscriber, please share the word.
Who Is That Masked Man?
Speaking of swag, this week we debut a new bandana – the perfect, ultra-fashionable way to cover your face during the coronavirus pandemic.
(Granted, we have long planned to introduce these because of bandanas’ popularity during the summer festival season, but now there’s a bit more urgency to provide another option for mandated face coverings.)
For that reason, we’re offering our new bandanas at a discounted, introductory price: $8 each. And we’ll include elastic bands that you can use on a folded bandana to create a face mask if you prefer that approach.
It’s a phenomenal way to cover up and show your support for Michigan music at the same time. Order yours here.
