Join us for a cozy listening session in the dreamy secret garden at Stable Cafe. BFF.fm featuring local artist Al Harper and hosted by Apple Gomez (Baydream radio Wed 5-6P) .

Everything that grows knows itself. What’s taken root and blooming in Al Harper’s sophomore album, The Analemma Observation League, deeply knows how to invite new and old fans to linger, smile with eyes closed, and then line-dance our way through reflection on these past, pivotal years of metamorphoses.

Like an heirloom Central Valley bush sunflower, native to Al’s hometown of Bakersfield, California, the seeds of A.O.L. were cultivated over many mighty seasons of heat, movement, and seeking the sun. The twang and heart of the Bakersfield Sound, mashed up with the as-seen-on-TV Sounds Of The ‘70s tapes her dad bought to blast on coastal road trips, is an Al Harper calling card that bobs and weaves throughout her songbook. With seriously siren vocals that defy comparison, honeyed with a Chrissie Hynde-meets-Harumi hum all her own, A.O.L. marks the culmination of what Al has been nurturing over nearly two decades of music-making in the Bay Area.

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.
