We’re celebrating March Madness with back to back hits for another Bandcamp Friday Roundup! For anyone unaware, Bandcamp Friday is when the online record store and music community, Bandcamp, dedicates the earnings made on that day to waiving their fees. This results in more money going directly to the artists who deserve it. Stop by and spread a little local love and support if you enjoy it.
Mic Anthony
One third of Dover hip-hop group Cypher Clique, Mic Anthony released their debut solo album Chopped & Screwed on February 10th. Mic’s emotions and vulnerability are on full display in this R&B electronic inspired rap EP. Features on the track include J.Edwards, TayVenchy, and Erich Gillespie.
Echosoft

J.D. Webb
Galena, Maryland folk rock singer-songwriter J.D. Webb just released his debut solo EP Royal St. Ann Burgundy on February 1,2023.
