Here are some frequently asked questions:
Q: When is Live Music on the Canal 2018 happening?
A: Typically, we release this information mid March. Permits have been requested for Sept 21st/22nd!
Q: When will the form be available for the open call? What about for volunteers?
A: As soon as possible. We are hard at work to make sure all the legal aspects are taken care of (insurance, permits, agreement to only play originals so we aren't responsible for BMI or ASCAP). As the music festival continues to grow, we need to cover ourselves legally to ensure a good time for everyone.
The form for open call is typically released in March and closes in May. Volunteers are more than welcomed to always contact us via private message.
Q: What is the cost for musicians to participate in the event?
A: Nothing! We want to help promote music socially and economically. So you should not have anything coming out of your pocket, silly!
Q: What are the requirements for participating as a musician?
A: You MUST have OKLAHOMA ties, have 30-60 minutes of ORIGINAL music, and be willing to physically meet us. (Sorry, but the first year running the festival, we had 3-4 musicians just not show up, and since they didn't personally know me, apparently they didn't care).
Q: What equipment do I need to bring?
A: Just yourself and your instrument. We provide top of the line gear. So no need to be dragging your PA- we got it covered.
Q: So, I hear you need sponsors. How do they/we get involved?
A: Email me at [email protected] and I would love to send you information!
As stated before, we are needing to raise $10,000 and if you are interested in sponsoring, I would love to meet with you! Anything and everything that we raise goes directly to the cost of putting the festival together as well as paying the musicians. All amounts welcomed.
