Local Shuffle Artist Application

Join Local Shuffle

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

How it works:
  • Customers purchase a randomly selected local song.
  • The business keeps 75% of the purchase.
  • 15% goes into the Local Shuffle Artist Pool.
  • 10% supports Local Shuffle's operation and development.
  • The Artist Pool is divided equally among eligible participating artists.
Step 1

About You

Step 2

Your Music

Your song must already be officially released and publicly available. Unreleased demos and recordings are not eligible.

Step 3

Confirm Eligibility

Local Shuffle currently operates in the Tampa Bay geographic zone.

Artists must live within the applicable zone and release music while living and operating within that zone.

Step 4

Agreement & Verification

Local Shuffle receives a non-exclusive license to use your submitted music for operating and promoting the program.

The license allows Local Shuffle to:

  • Include your submitted song in the Local Shuffle catalog.
  • Select an eligible song for the active Shuffle rotation.
  • Make the active song available to customers who legitimately redeem a Local Shuffle purchase.
  • Identify your artist name and song title to customers.
  • Display approved artist information for Local Shuffle purposes.
  • Promote your participation in Local Shuffle marketing.

This agreement does not transfer ownership of your music, recordings, compositions, artist name, or other intellectual property to Local Shuffle.

You retain ownership of your music and may continue to distribute, perform, license, and promote it elsewhere.

Participation is voluntary. Local Shuffle may review, approve, reject, suspend, or remove submissions when necessary to maintain program eligibility and rights compliance.

Artists receive one equal share of the Artist Pool while eligible and active. Submitting additional songs does not create additional artist shares.
