Welcome to the Local Music Mission!
At RedWood’s Corner, we believe local music is more than background sound. It’s culture, community, and creative livelihood.
Our #1 goal in the Local Music Mission is to bring $100,000+ back into the local music economy by enrolling 100+ businesses in our carefully curated “Local Music” Playlists within the next year.
The Local Music Mission exists to create real opportunities for independent artists, while helping local businesses connect more deeply with the communities they serve.
Through donations, partnerships, and intentional music placement, this initiative supports local musicians with recording resources, promotion, and exposure - while also giving businesses an easy way to showcase and support the talent in their own setting, with the right sound.
We’ve already developed playlists across multiple genres and continue to expand based on business and community interest (we have some amazing local talent!). Every participating location helps turn everyday music streaming into meaningful support for independent artists.
This page exists to keep our mission transparent and measurable. Here, you’ll find ongoing progress updates as we reach 100 businesses, artists that have benefited from this mission, as well as donors and businesses who are choosing to play a role in sustaining local music. Every contribution through music playback or direct financial support helps keep local creativity alive and heard.
Playlist Sign Ups
Our 6-month subscription provides businesses with a complete local music solution, including:
Ongoing customer support and set-up
Professionally curated local music playlists that are commercial-licensed
Custom audio ads created for your business by local artists featured in your rotation (optional)
Your choice of genre. Contact us for more information about playlist lengths and genre options.
This plan allows your business to showcase its support for local music while also creating a more engaging in-store experience for customers. Ready to get started?
*We take care of the set up for you, and give you time to review the playlist and (optional) ads if you’d like. You can also request local artists to be on your playlist and we will confirm their commercial-license status.
**You can opt-out of the local ads for your business, or utilize them for store messages such as sales, closing times, etc.
Donations
We recognize that not every business plays music on-site, or may already be committed to another music solution - but supporting local music shouldn’t be limited by logistics.
For businesses that aren’t able to stream our playlists, we offer the option to support this mission through direct contributions to our Music Recording Fund or Play Local Music Fund.
These funds go directly toward:
Helping musicians access quality recording they couldn’t otherwise afford
Supporting businesses that want to feature local music but lack the resources to do so
All donations are documented with receipts, and supporters may choose to be recognized on this website and in our monthly Local Music Mission progress-update newsletters.
This helps us prepare proper genre playlists, know which business types do and do not play music, and how our service can help your business even more. Thank you for your support in this mission!
