Barry CourterRiverbend Festival and SoundCorps have partnered to come up with a new application process for local artists interested in performing at the summer festival. Bands with a physical address within 50 miles of Chattanooga may apply to perform at the 2018 Riverbend Festival by visiting www.SoundCorps.org/Riverbend. To complete the application, artists must have a band profile (free to build) on the SoundCorps directory at www.Sound Corps.org/Directory.
Applications are open until midnight on Dec. 31, 2017.
Riverbend offers between 20 and 30 slots on its lineup for local bands most years, and it’s a chance for these artists to play a big festival and put a nice item on their resume. It’s also a chance for fans to see a good bit of local talent in one place.
“Riverbend is proud to have played a major role in the renaissance of Chattanooga’s riverfront over the last three and a half decades,” said Friends of the Festival Executive Director Chip Baker.
“We are now experiencing a similar type of renaissance in Chattanooga’s music scene, and are excited to work alongside SoundCorps to keep the momentum going.”
