🎶 Get Your Music Featured in Above the Canal

If you’re a Delaware musician looking to get more eyes (and ears) on your music, we’d be happy to help introduce you to thousands of locals who enjoy discovering what’s playing nearby. Whether you’re playing originals, covers, or a mix of both—if you’re performing live in Northern Delaware, we’d love to include you. The spotlight is open to anyone making music locally.

Here’s what you get:

• A dedicated feature in our newsletter (read by 7,500+ locals and growing fast).
• A photo of you or your band (we’ll make it look sharp).
• A short write-up about your sound and your story.
• Links to your Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, or wherever you hang out.
• A list of your upcoming shows.

It’s not an ad—it’s a proper intro to people who care about the local scene.

P.S. You’ll also get your own linktree-style artist page (but better!)

In addition to your newsletter spotlight, we’ll create a dedicated spotlight artist page on abovethecanal.com featuring your photo, bio, and music links. This isn’t just a one-time feature—we’ll link to your page any time you’re playing live in Northern Delaware for a full year, with the option to renew after that.

Instead of being just a name in the list, readers will be able to click your name to learn more about your music, hear your sound, and follow you right from our listings. See what a live spotlight page looks like.

Why We Ask for a Small Fee

For a limited time, our early supporter price for a Spotlight Artist feature is just $59. This one-time fee that covers the cost of writing your story, designing your custom page, and promoting it through local paid ads. Note the early supporter price will increase on December 1, 2025.

No upsells. No strings. Just a simple way to support local music and help more Delaware artists get seen.

You focus on making great music. We’ll help more people hear it.
