Each Thursday during our end of year fundraising campaign we're sharing a letter from a local musician about how BFF.fm has benefited them in 2020. This week's letter is from Ruby Mountain. (photo by Daniel Soley)
BFF.fm was such a light for me when the pandemic happened. Like other artists and audio engineers, my work and performances were put on hold because of COVID-19.
It was a relief to see BFF.fm was thinking about artists impacted by the pandemic by offering relief funds and performance opportunities for Bay Area artists. My first online concert with multiple artists in the line up was with BFF.fm. I felt connected and embraced by the BFF.fm community to be performing alongside other amazing local artists again. I appreciate the thoughtful effort and adaptation BFF.fm has made to uplift and validate local Bay Area artists at this time.
Here's Ruby Mountain at our very first virtual Besties Bash:

I founded BFF.fm in 2013 because I believe in the power of community radio to play an integral role in our local music scene, and that a great Internet station can bring the Bay Area sound to the world.
People look at me sideways when I explain that one day I just decided to start an online radio station. I knew I could figure it out, and today BFF.fm is a vibrant community of talented DJs and dedicated volunteers, working together to make our mission happen!
I’m proud of the impact BFF.fm has had on the community and the opportunities it has afforded our listeners and our DJs. In 4 years we’ve hosted hundreds of bands in studio, presented dozens of local music showcases, and booked local support for touring acts playing larger venues.
