Velvet Rhythm Radio is based in Jackson, Mississippi, and is produced by Stone Cold Entertainment Group. We are an independent, community-driven, fully licensed internet radio station broadcasting 24/7 from the heart of the Deep South. Our programming bridges Jackson and New Orleans - from the Delta to the French Quarter - celebrating the rich musical culture of the American South. Stream live at velvetrhythmradio.com.

Independent artists can submit original R&B, soul, smooth jazz, blues, gospel, Southern Soul, quiet storm, or New Orleans brass band music through our Submit Music page. Upload your track as an MP3, WAV, or M4A file along with a short artist bio. We review every submission personally and respond with a decision on whether your music will be added to our rotation. Review our submission guidelines first to make sure your track meets our quality and licensing standards.

Use the Request a Song form on our site to send a song title, artist name, and personal message to the booth. You can also send a dedication to someone special through our Dedication Wall. Every request and dedication is reviewed by the station before it airs, then announced on air. It is a free service for our listeners - just fill out the form and we will do our best to get your song on the air.
