Bands! We want to hear from you!
We are always looking for new, fresh music to feature at our events.
For Wise Fest we focus on ORIGINAL, American roots music...think Americana, Bluegrass, Blues, Soul, etc. but we certainly don't limit ourselves to that. We've had electronic, hip hop, reggae and more...Wise Fest is always an eclectic lineup, which everyone seems to enjoy!
For Feed Your Head Fest we lean towards ORIGINAL, Funk, Soul, Jam and Rock music. We purposely want to keep the vibe of Feed Your Head fest different from that of Wise Fest so you likely won't see repeated bands between the two events...unless it's Wise Jennings. Since we run them both we get the option to perform at them both, sorry, not sorry :)
​
For our festivals, we have limited openings for solo performers as we prefer full band performances, however, we do on occasion have openings for solo acts.
​
We also prefer to focus on local/regional talent. We love to showcase the amazing performers that we have in our own backyard. With that said, we are always open to welcoming bands from outside the region to our events, it's just not going to be likely that they're all from outside the Midwest.
Take a look at our past events and lineups and if you think you'd be a good fit, fill out the form below. Please note...we prefer original bands. We will occasionally have a cover band at an event but that is definitely not the norm. Please keep that in mind when you submit.
​
Due to volume of submissions, we may not be able to get back to you in a timely manner, however please know that we will be reviewing the submissions as we begin planning for each of our events.
