Accepting Applications for the Sask Sampler

SASK SAMPLER

Saturday April 30^th

Doors: 7:00pm, $5 cover

Bushwakker Brewpub - 2206 Dewdney Ave.

The Regina Folk Festival, the Ness Creek Music Festival and the Gateway Music Festival present some of the best independent music to some of the largest audiences in Saskatchewan, but we don't always get a chance to see the performers that live in our own backyard.

So we've partnered with Bushwakker Brewing Company to put on a show called the SASK SAMPLER and we want you (or your friends) to come play it.

This is a great opportunity for Saskatchewan’s Festival Artistic Directors to see your band play live! 

If you're interested and you live in Saskatchewan, apply online through the Regina Folk Festival’s SonicBids account. Please submit your EPK, links and sample mp3 directly to our account.  Simply add a note indicating the submission is for the Sask Sampler. Six bands will be chosen to perform! 

The deadline for submissions is: FEBRUARY 28TH 

Hope to see you there!

Best of Regina

Thank you Regina for voting us "BEST REGINA FESTIVAL OR EVENT" *and* "BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO REGINA IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS"!

We certainly couldn't pull it off without "BEST ARTS & CULTURE BEHIND-THE-SCENES MASTERMIND" (Sandra Butel, our amazing Artistic Director)!

This fabulous festival is created each year from the hearts and hands of hundreds and hundreds of brilliant people.  We have a fantastic board, wonderful staff (herded and inspired by the aforementioned mastermind and the extraordinary Ms. Jeannie Straub), a remarkable team of volunteer coordinators and hundreds of warm and giving volunteers.  These are the people without whom the festival could not happen.  We all work to create this festival because we each believe in the indelible power of it, the magic it creates that sparks and yet somehow sustains until the next year.

Thank you so much Regina!
