FESTIVAL
BOOKING for 2010 and Beyond
Thank
you for your interest in the Kerrville Music Festivals.
We no longer accept mail in artist submissions or press
kits. We accept Electronic Press Kits only. If
you are an artist and would like to submit material for
consideration, please email a link to you EPK to Dalis
Allen, Festival Producer at booking@kerrville-music.com.
Please be advised that the Kerrville Music Festivals are
technically Songwriters Festivals, therefore all those
making submissions must write and perform their own original
(and excellent) material. The musical genres for our festivals are not specific.
Although we are called a "Folk Festival", we offer
everything from singer / songwriters, to blues, country, americana, acoustic rock, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, and even reggae.
Please keep in mind that in most cases artists must have been seen
Live by our producer in order to be considered for the festival.
The
best way to get your songs heard more quickly is to enter
the "New Folk" Songwriting Competition.
The contest is held each year at the Spring Festival.
You can obtain the guidelines for entry by visiting our
website at www.kerrville-music.com/newfolk.htm
, (or
follow the "New Folk Information" link from our
homepage) or by calling us at (830) 257-3600.
Guidelines for the 2010 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk
Competition are posted. We will began
taking entries on December 1, 2009.
You
might also consider attending or submitting material for consideration
for the formal showcase at the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance
Conference. The dates and location of the 2010
conference will be held on September 30 - October 3 and will be held in
Austin, Texas. You can get information by
