Joining the newcomers with a second album are current Amplify 817 artists Cherry Mantis, Keegan McInroe, JOE, Panoramic Duo, and Simon Flory.

“We’re excited to close out 2024 with a fresh batch of talented artists, offering listeners even more local music to discover and enjoy,” said Rita Alfaro, music librarian.

After being reviewed and selected by a panel of Fort Worth music supporters, artists receive a $300 honorarium for a three-year license to host their music on the site. Funding for honorariums is provided by donors to the Fort Worth Public Library Foundation.

Amplify 817 continually expands its commercial-free collection of local music through bi-annual artist submission rounds (one in winter and another in summer). The collection currently features over 100 artists offering listeners a diverse range of genres.

“Every city has its unique voices and stories to share, and Amplify 817 is proud to play a part in uplifting those in Fort Worth’s bustling music scene,” said Midori Clark, Fort Worth Public Library Director.
