Are you considering applying to be featured on Lubbock Music NOW's compilation album but are unsure if you qualify? Here is everything you need to be considered!
🎵 One song per artist. A band will count as one artist, but if a member of that band has their own solo project, they may also submit an entry as an individual artist.
🎶 Artists may not already have a record deal in place or be signed with a label.
🎵 Artists must be affiliated with one of the music licensing organizations i.e. ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. (To affiliate, visit the ASCAP, BMI or SESAC websites)
🎶 All songs must be original–no covers. Only professionally recorded masters from studios or live performances are accepted. Songs may not exceed 4:30 (4 minutes 30 seconds) in length and MUST be submitted as a .wav file.
🎵 Artists must live within 100 miles of the Lubbock city limits.
🎶 Artists MUST have played two paying gigs in Lubbock in the last year. No exceptions.
🎵 Artists will sign an agreement (the application) stipulating no royalties will be received from sales of the album. (All proceeds from the album sales will be used to produce future editions of Lubbock Music NOW)
🎶 Artists selected for the album will agree to promote the Lubbock Music NOW project on their website/social media platforms.
🎵 Artists not chosen for the current year may re-apply; artists who made the previous year’s album may submit a different song for the next album.
Visit civiclubbock.org/lubbock-music-now and submit your song before June 30th!
