Download & Stream

Want your music in our collection? Well, we do, too!

• Desert Streams puts out a call for submissions for a set time, two times per year.
• Up to 25 albums/EPs per submission round will be added to the collection.
• We are looking for music that was produced within the past five years, by musicians living and performing in Pima County.
• If you are interested in having your music considered for addition to our collections, you can upload one track on our online submission form pimadesertstreams.org/submit.
• Musicians can submit one track from only one album per submission period.
• A panel of curators who know the local music scene will review all tracks and then will select 25 albums/EPs each submission period for inclusion in the collection. Selection will be based on quality, diversity, representation, and connection to the Tucson/Pima County music scene.
• We will let you know whether your music was accepted or declined. If your music was declined, you can always submit the same track or a new track during the next round.
• Selected musicians will sign a licensing agreement and receive a $250 honorarium. In exchange, the Library will receive non-exclusive rights to stream the album/EP for a 5-year term.
