If you have a band and looking for an opportunity to perform,  TedFest is where you want to be.  We’ll be looking for some 25 bands to play at our TedFest 2026. Come join us this next July 17 to 19, and bring their style of acoustic & roots music to TedFest.  We want to thank all the performers and bands who have submitted their application to perform at TedFest Music Festival, 2025. It is unfortunate that we cannot hire everyone. If you were not selected last year, please reapply again. Submissions for the TedFest Music Festival, July 17 to 19, 2026, will commence on January 1, 2026. 

Applicants must fill out the form, and include a LIVE performance video or soundcloud link. Studio submissions are not considered. 
Submissions will be juried and the selection committee will notify those who are chosen. You will be notified between May 15th and June 15th. 
Performers can play as a solo act or as an ensemble. 
Sets will be a maximum of 30 minutes. 
We are generally looking for music styles rooted within the general umbrella of ‘roots, americana, blues, bluegrass, country, celtic, and similar folk or traditional arts’.
No pre-recorded tracks. 
The showcase stage is not a paid performance, but the performers will receive a complimentary 3-day pass to the festival.
Professional sound and lighting will be provided. 
You can check your merchandise into the merchandising area where you can sell CD’s, T-shirts, etc...
Please include a full list of names of performers, instruments and any tech needed.  Artists will be asked to sign a standard contract 

Please note! Do NOT send CDs or links to studio versions or videos... we want to see live, single take recordings.
