Information for Artists
|
|
Our festival line up includes folk, roots, blues and world music. Although we love to bring back favourite performers, in general we try to bring in new acts every year. When we can we like hiring artists who represent our Founding Cultures (Mi'kmaq, Acadian, British Isles, African-Nova Scotian).

The deadline to apply to perform at the Deep Roots Music Festival is March 31st. We accept applications between September 1st and March 31st.
If you would like to be considered for the festival, please send us an EPK or a good ol' fashioned press kit. Please include samples of your music, a brief bio, a small selection of review material if you have some and any other relevant information about your style of music, history, past performances, etc.
We receive a ton of great material each year. To acknowledge receipt of these materials we contact each artist via email. Our Programming Director will contact you if we are interested in pursuing a booking.
We keep all submissions on file for two years.
Please send us an email with a link to your EPK to: submit@deeprootsmusic.ca
