“Are you having a hard time getting into the scene? Are you struggling to form and find a bill? Don’t know where to play or who to play with? Looking for safe spaces to play?”
Make.Shift, continuing its mission of amplifying the voices of vulnerable communities in the arts, will host and create an event aimed at giving newer bands a real-life experience of what it’s like to book a show, perform, go through sound check, record, and be compensated. The whole shadooby!
The goal is not only to encourage new bands to step into the scene, but also to provide an educational and community-building experience. Bands will learn the basics of putting on a show, sound-checking, connecting with each other, and gaining valuable insight for booking shows and gigs in the future. All of this will take place in a safe, welcoming, all-ages space that supports growth, creativity, and collaboration.
Applications open from August 30th to October 1st at 5pm. Confirmation letters sent out October 5th.
