What is The Deli?

The Deli Magazine is a daily updated website covering local music scenes (thus far: NYC, LA, Nashville, Chicago, SF, Portland, Portland, Philly and Burlington VT). We also have a quarterly printed publication exclusively focused on the NYC independent music scene, meaning the bands and the artists that live in the Big Apple.

Mission Statement

The primary goal of The Deli is to expose local musical artists that have not yet reached a level of international fame: this is why all of our printed articles feature up and coming bands and singer-songwriters (while our websites also cover the most popular breakout bands) .

The secondary goal is to inform and advise the local community of musicians on any other matter related to making music, from recording it to promoting it and performing it. You will find this kind of information in our Delicious Audio Blog and Listings section.
 

Album Submission Policy

The Deli Portland ONLY reviews albums by Portland based artists.

At this time we only accept digital submission through our album Submission System here.

For added exposure, you can post mp3s and a blurb about your band on the local Open Blog.
