Last year, FARM selected 11 Sonicbids artists. Fourteen artists will be selected to showcase over two evenings of the conference. There are many opportunities to showcase throughout the event, including Official Showcases, Private Showcases, Midwest Radio Presents, Performance Lane, and Jamming & Song Circles.


"I can't say enough about the awesome folks at FARM. I'll be back every year I can," said Sonicbids artist The The Johnnie Ninety-Nine Band


Artists in a wide variety of genres are encouraged to submit their three best songs. If selected, artists are responsible for their own conference registration fees and travel arrangements to the Holiday Inn in Bolingbrook, where the conference will be held. Bands will not be compensated, and all artists and supporting musicians must be registered for the conference.

Please note: showcasing artists must be or become a member of Folk Alliance (visit folk.org). Selected artists are assessed an additional "Showcase Fee" of $20.00. Please visit farmfolk.org org for complete conference information.
