Local Shuffle

Artist Application & Participation Agreement

Local Shuffle connects local musicians with customers at participating coffee shops, breweries, bars, restaurants, and other local businesses. Customers purchase a randomly selected local song for $1, helping support both the participating business and the local music community.

How Local Shuffle works:

Customers pay $1 for access to one randomly selected local song.
The participating business keeps 75% of the purchase.
15% goes into the Local Shuffle Artist Pool.
10% supports the operation and development of Local Shuffle.
The Artist Pool is divided equally among eligible participating artists.
Artists do not receive a larger share because their song happens to be selected more often.

5. Music Rights & License

By submitting music to Local Shuffle, the artist grants Local Shuffle a non-exclusive license to use the submitted music for the purposes of operating and promoting the Local Shuffle program.

This license permits Local Shuffle to:

Include the submitted song in the Local Shuffle music catalog.
Select one eligible song from the artist for inclusion in the active Local Shuffle rotation.
Make the active song available to customers who have legitimately redeemed a Local Shuffle purchase.
Stream or digitally deliver the song through the Local Shuffle website or associated technology.
Identify the artist and song title to customers.
Display the artist's name, approved biography, photograph, artwork, website, and social-media links for Local Shuffle-related purposes.
Promote the artist and Local Shuffle participation through Local Shuffle marketing.

This agreement does not transfer ownership of the song, recording, composition, trademark, artist name, or other intellectual property to Local Shuffle.

The artist retains ownership of their music and may continue to distribute, perform, license, and promote their music through other services and platforms.

I agree to grant Local Shuffle the non-exclusive license described above.

7. Artist Payments

Fifteen percent (15%) of Local Shuffle purchase revenue is allocated to the Local Shuffle Artist Pool.

The Artist Pool is divided equally among all eligible active Local Shuffle Artists for the applicable monthly payout period.

The number of times an artist's song is selected does not increase that artist's share of the Artist Pool.

Artists may submit multiple songs, but submitting additional songs does not create additional artist shares. Each artist receives one equal share of the Artist Pool while eligible and active.

Local Shuffle currently uses a monthly enrollment cutoff. Artists who become active after the applicable monthly cutoff will begin receiving Artist Pool distributions beginning with the next eligible payout period, unless Local Shuffle announces a different policy.

Local Shuffle may establish reasonable minimum payout thresholds and payment schedules as necessary to account for payment-processing costs and administrative expenses.

Payment Setup

Local Shuffle will not collect bank-account numbers, credit-card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive financial information through this application form.

When payment processing is activated, artists may be directed to a secure third-party payment provider to complete identity and payment verification.

Payment Email *

I understand that additional information may be required through a secure third-party payment provider before Local Shuffle can issue payments to me.
