We're excited to continue our new monthly listening party where local artists get a chance to share new material and go "behind the music" in conversation with a BFF.fm DJ, all within the cozy, magical confines of the BFF.fm studios.

For our second listening party, we're featuring California indie-rock songwriter Jake Mann (Upper Hand, Islay Banks), whose album Outta Mind A While features an often-cinematic quality, as he takes you on a trip across the threshold of psychedelia, through dusted Valley roadhouses, and on to some foggy surfside scenes. Friend of the artist and BFF.fm DJ Swirving (of audiosyncrasies) will be asking all the softball questions about the recording and song-making process, but you the audience will have the opportunity to ask other questions too!

Mix, mingle, and meet other local music lovers. We'll provide fizzy waters and light snackies.

BFF.fm – Best Frequencies Forever is a community radio station, broadcasting online from the heart of San Francisco's Mission District.

BFF.fm is a rare gem. In this era of homogenized commercial radio, where only a handful of corporations own the majority of the airwaves, BFF.fm has paved our own way online. Your support allows us to continue the important work of intentionally uplifting and promoting talented creatives who are not heard often enough due to ongoing barriers to entry onto commercial radio.

Our staff of 115 volunteer DJs are the people you stand next to at shows and ride Muni with. We’re your neighbors. We share the music we love on the radio because that’s what drives us, not algorithms or commercial interests.

We believe in the power of community radio to bring people together. Through the Internet we can be heard anywhere -- in office cubicles, cars, through headphones in the park -- giving people worldwide a chance to discover something new.
