This week we’re bringing you another installment of our Monthly Local Mix series, spotlighting a group of bands we haven’t yet featured alongside some old friends of the show. Big things are happening here at The Bay Bridged HQ, as evidenced by the brand new banner designed by Scott Barry, the first The Bay Bridged Artist-in-Residence. Every month, we’re going to spotlight a different local artist that you should know about, and ask them to put their own spin on The Bay Bridged site. You should definitely check out more of Scott’s work at Birdstand. Additional kudos to him for suggesting the idea! If you’d like to become the next AiR, drop us a line here. Similarly, if you’re in a band or work with a band in the Bay Area, fill out our request form to Get Heard. Several of the bands included this week did and are now a part of the Bay Bridged family.

We hope you enjoy this week’s mix. As we mention in this week’s show, there’s more big stuff on the horizon for us, stuff we will be posting here in the next few days. As always, thanks for listening!
