Booking
We are in the process of booking Old Settler’s Music Festival is very complicated. First, there are so many talented artists and bands out there, it makes selection incredibly difficult. Second, we are looking for a very specific mix of national, regional and local artists.
We also enjoy bringing one or two outstanding unknown or new artists into the mix every festival. We use Sonicbids for this purpose. We guarantee to listen to each Sonicbids submission and one or two artists will be selected from this pool every year. A little about Sonicbids:
This year, Sonicbids celebrates 10 years of connecting musicians and promoters. More than 350,000 gigs have been booked on Sonicbids in that time. Everything from the bands playing SXSW to those playing your local coffee house. Sonicbids is the leading matchmaking site for emerging bands and music promoters.
Submit to Sonicbids. The deadline to submit is December 5, 2011.
You may also send press kits (a one sheet plus cd) to: PO Box 151947, Austin, TX 78715.
