Artist Submissions

October 15, 2011: Performer Submissions are now closed for the 2012 festival. Thanks to all artists who submitted.

Frostbite welcomes performer submissions from June 1 to September 30. We receive many applications from artists to perform at our festival and do our best to respond to each inquiry. While the majority of our national programming is not a result of unsolicited submissions, we appreciate the interest and experience of all applicants.

2012 ARTISTIC DIRECTION STATEMENT

Frostbite, the 'coolest' music festival north of 60, is looking for distinctive performances by Yukon musicians to present at its 34th Annual festival next February. Now in its fourth decade, Frostbite strives to assemble some of the finest, most eclectic, hip and virtuosic musicians from across the country and teams them with a diverse selection of Yukon musicians to create a unique vortex of music, people and good will. While Frostbite will consider all kinds of music, we are most interested in presenting diverse and excellent acts that have never (or rarely) been seen before: something new, something untested perhaps; fresh combinations of players, new compositions, musical risks and explorations.

ALL ARTISTS

Thank you for your submission to the festival.  We request that you do not contact us regarding booking, as we will follow up if there is a performance opportunity at the 2012 Frostbite Music Festival. Electronic media is our starting point for all artists, so please do not send hard copies of audio/press material unless requested by Frostbite.
