How It Works
Festival of Friends Events, Songmixers are made up of -
Festival of Friends Events, Songmixers are made up of -
- Pre-organized cover song performance collectives showcasing material by iconic bands and artists performed by a rotating roster of FoF community member musicians.
- Guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboardists and vocalists who've registered in advance for the songs they want to perform on their primary instrument(s). Available instrumentation for each song performance including background vocalists is always material dependent. Background vocalists are always welcome and encouraged to participate so don't let a lead vocalist slot being filled deter you from signing up.
- During open registration participants register for a minimum of 1 song and a maximum of 4 songs (based on their primary instrument/s, learning and playing ability and performing interest). If there are additional songs available that you're interested in playing on (beyond your initial selections) we'll notify you about remaining options (at no extra cost) after open registration has closed.
- Participating musicians must have the ability to accurately learn material on their own (based on specified studio recordings unless otherwise specified) and readily-apply it in a live event setting with no prior rehearsals.
- There are no auditions or formalized rehearsals prior to a Songmixers event so coming prepared is mandatory..
