Hello artists + agents,

Currently, the New York Guitar Festival is on an every-other year schedule. The next festival is January 2008, then January 2010, etc. Please read this before sending anything.

Send us a CD or DVD of your work, perhaps even a review or two, and maybe an interview or feature article. If you have a website or MySpace page with more or less the same information, then save a tree (and postage) and just send us the link. Pointing us to YouTube clips is fine, too.

We get sent quite a few packages and as we’ve got a tiny staff, it takes a long time for us to review everything. Please don’t send us follow-up e-mails asking if we received your stuff. We probably did. You can use UPS or FedEx if you want delivery confirmation. If we like your music and see a place for it on the festival, rest assured, we’ll be in touch. Unfortunately, we can’t book everything we like, and sometimes it takes us a few festival cycles to book some of our favorite artists.

Often, if we really like something but budget/venue issues prevent us from booking it, we’ll still be in touch, just to say that we’re “fans.” Sometimes we even pass along information about artists we like to other festivals, clubs, radio programmers, music critics, etc. We’ll try to give you a heads-up if we do this…

Many thanks!
