For the evening showcases, spread out over four venues on each night, they are looking to book a total of 30 - 40 bands. Artists from a wide variety of genres are encouraged to submit.
Submission Procedures and Showcase Details:
- Through Sonicbids is the only way a band can submit
- Bands must be seeking management representation (i.e., bands should not submit for a showcase if they already have a manager)
- If selected, each member of the band will receive a complimentary Full Conference Registration badge ($450 value), plus $75 for performance
- A meal and drink ticket will be provided for each band member at the performance venue
- The size of the band performing must be limited to 4 (i.e. prepare to ‘strip down’ the size of group to no more than 4, or to share the performance fees for 4 among the extra musicians)
- Bands must rehearse and put together a 25-minute set (consisting of however many songs bands can fit into that time frame)
