Musicians and other entertainers wanted for Neighborhood Farmers Markets
Posted Feb 11, 2010 by music
Musicians and other entertainers interested in playing at the seven Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets (Broadway, Columbia City, Lake City, Magnolia, U-District, West Seattle, Phinney):
If you are a musician interested in performing at any of our seven farmers markets, please contact us via email or phone (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 206-632-5234) and if possible provide us with a sound sample or link.
We schedule musicians for all dates when we do not have cooking demos or other events scheduled. We love all kinds of music, especially upbeat and family friendly. (We have everything from classical quartets to bluegrass to African kora to accordians to kids’ sing-a-longs – shoppers love to tip and musicians frequently make contacts for other performing opportunities.) We have several guidelines to keep in mind: music is kept at a volume that does not to disturb the surrounding neighborhood (acoustic is preferred, but a little amplification can be accomodated); performers play for tips only; we do not provide any equipment other than a canopy to play under and a scheduled time/date for you to play.
