Apply here to be considered for a future Carolina Indie Fest

We are looking for bands with 60 minutes of all original content.  No covers.  All genres welcome.  Bands perform on stage and get to work with a great sound engineer who provides a common back line.  VIP area access for all performers on day of the event including food, drink and seating.  The festival is professionally marketed and promoted.

​​

You'll see below that YouTube is the preferred platform for submissions, there's a few reasons for this.  It allows us to see how you perform live (we realize sound quality can be an issue, that's ok - you'll sound great at Indie) and as a platform it's also far less problematic for indie musicians than, say, Spotify.  With between 500-1000 submissions a year we have a LOT of music to listen to.  Please make it easy for us to listen to your music!

​

Our booking for the 2026 Spring Indie is done, we are now accepting submissions for Fall 2026.  We do listen to EVERY submission - if you take the time to submit then we take the time to get to know you.

​

Thanks for checking us out & helping make this a great music festival!
