Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance! It’s really all about connection. And what better way to express that than by celebrating the music and people in our scene that make the Bay Area so special. Whether you want to shout out a local band, hear your Valentine read live on the air, or show up IRL for a music scene meet-cute, we’ve got three cozy and cute ways to get involved.
If a song or band on BFF.fm has ever made your heart skip a beat, this is your moment to give that love back.
From now through February 14, we’re inviting you to dedicate a story, shoutout, or love note to your favorite local artist.
We’ll start sharing your love letters on our socials all week, and on Valentine’s Day we’ll publish a big, collective Love Letter to Bay Area Music on the BFF.fm blog.

We’re hosting a local music appreciation hang for the bands we featured in 2025, our favorite promoters, and our beloved friends at Casements — and we’d love to see you there.
📅 February 13
🕕 6–10pm
📍 Casements
Come celebrate the scene, meet the people behind the music, and kick off Valentine’s Day with your community.
Want your Valentine read live on the air?
Donate $5 or more to BFF.fm and send us your dedication, shoutout, or music love letter. One of our DJs will read select Valentines on the air on Valentine’s Day (Don’t worry — we’ll let you know roughly when it’ll air so you can tune in.)
👉 Donate + submit your on-air Valentine here👈
Your love can help keep BFF.fm on the air, independent and locally obsessed.
However you choose to show up- with words, dollars, or your actual face, thank you for loving local music and helping BFF.fm stay on San Francisco’s frequencies forever 💖
