Well, the deadline has past (07/01/2008) and we will no longer be accepting presskits for Nehemiah Fest 2008....sorry!  We have received around 80 submissions for 40-45 performance spots and have begun our selection process.  It will be a difficult programming process and we feel bad that we won't be able to let everyone play.  If you missed the deadline, be sure that you put this event on your calendar for Nehemiah 2009...it will be the same weekend in September next year.  Be sure you keep your eye open for the call for presskits in the Spring of 2009.

If you are interested in performing we will feature a new venue this year at Nehemiah Fest...an OPEN MIC Stage.  We haven't given it a name yet, but plans are to have a select few solo acoustic acts or track singers that will man the stage...but there will be opportunities to walk up, sign up and play a short set for ANYONE visiting the festival.  So come on out and get heard!
