Partner Bands

The SPPS Believes that one way to save the past is to continue tradition into the future. For this reason, we aim to support working bands, festivals, and venues that stand with us in that belief in a real way by giving them exposure, their own webpage on our server, and sharing our bandwidth with them so people who have never heard them before have the chance. There is no charge to downloader or to the artist for this.They share with us their priceless live sounds so we want to support their commercial efforts. We STRONGLY encourage you to purchase their commercially available CDs and merchandise and attend their concerts!

Downloads can be found in the friends folder, and are listed on their pages linked to below. Use the Download link for more info. When you have the chance, let our Partner Artists know you found them through the SPPS. Click the artist name to view their feature and available downloads.

If your Americana (old time, bluegrass, blues, jazz..) band , festival, or venue would like to be involved, get in touch. (see note)

Venue/Festival Partners are selected based on various criteria including logistics, archival/access agreements, and other factors that impact our vision for this category.
