The Fanwood Arts Council is looking for artists to perform in "The Fanwood Cultural Arts Performance Series". We are using a "transparent booking" method. That is, we've laid out below exactly what you need to know to get booked in our series. After you've sent us your information, we'll (1) confirm that we've received it; and (2) give you a quick and unequivocal answer when you follow up with us. If you are interested in performing please forward your contact information and press kit or link to a myspace or other website containing bio information and musical demos, to: recruit@fanwoodperformanceseries.org.

We lean toward (1) singer/songwriters (Arlon Bennet, Roia Rafieyan) and (2) Small groups (Reckon So, Booglerizers, etc.). We very rarely book cover bands, hard rock, or pop performers. It is requested that the performances be primarily acoustic in nature. Look at our list of past performers as a guide.

Please send us a link to your web site, face book page, or mySpace page at recruit@fanwoodperformanceseries.org. Please provide examples of your music and list of your latest shows. We are happy to rely on your Web page for reviews, lists of places played, pictures, etc...

We will send you an email confirming that we've received your materials. Chances are, you won't hear anything more from us until we want to set a date (which may be many months later). So, don't be a stranger. Email as many times as you like, asking whether you're on the "to-book" list and whether there are any opportunities coming up. You'll get an unequivocal, straight answer. Of course, follow-up is not a requirement: even if we don't hear from you, if there's a fit you'll still be on the list for a future booking.

We book roughly 3-6 months in advance. We book for spring and fall, although there are two most-active booking periods: March/April for booking the following fall, and August/September for booking the following spring.
