With the recent news of a new music venue from Smith Entertainment Group and Live Nation, billionaires are billionair-ing, and all I want to do is support local music.

*Enter HUM* Salt Lake City Library’s free streaming service, a curated collection of exclusively local artists. Here are some of the best tracks I’ve discovered so far.

Anna Beck

Raw, moody, indie-pop. Adding this bop to my sad girl playlist.

Bevy

Vibey, dreamy R&B. I don’t know how to explain this but the music on this track tickles my brain in the best way.

Dad Bod

Laid-back, mellow grooves. The perfect song for a road trip.

Michelle Moonshine

Golden, nostalgic country. Michelle Moonshine’s voice feels timeless and familiar.
