All genres of music are accepted. Please keep in mind that even though Relix is a publication dedicated to jam bands and improvisational music, it does not consider jam band a genre. Past selected artists have included musicians rooted in Rock & Roll, Bluegrass, Jazz and Blues. Artists are encouraged to submit more then one song, but must submit their music for each CD sampler separately. Previous submissions will not be considered once that opportunity has ended.
Relix is the music/lifestyle publication created especially for Jam-scene music lovers. It is the ONLY magazine reaching the widespread improvisational music scene. Published 8 times annually, Relix has been in circulation for over 30 years and is the second longest, continuously running music magazine in the United States after Rolling Stone. In 2007, Relix's 190-issue archive entered the vault in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.
In addition to its worldwide distribution, the magazine can also be picked up at music festivals, concerts, and events nationwide.
