BOOKING

Before you ask to play at our series, please read the following information.

Because of the lousy economy we are NOT BOOKING ANYONE for 2010 before the fall of 2009. The 2009 series is fully booked, don't even ask.
We have come to the conclusion that in order to survive we have to cut back our schedule and only book major national acts for our stage shows until the economy recovers and audiences increase.


  • We will do 10 staqge show in concerts 2010. Some months we get that many requests or more.
  • Don't give up hope - we do hold several house concerts each year to introduce new artists in the area. Just remember the long odds of a stage concerts shrink even lower for a house concert because we only do 4 or 5 of them a year.
  • We book a year in advance. There is NO chance of a concert "in a couple of months when you're in the area."
  • If you aren't completely discouraged by now, we do listen to every CD we get and once in a while one takes our fancy. If you want to take a chance, send your demo to the snail mail address above.
  • We prefer CDs since time is limited. You have a much greater chance of having all your demo heard if we can do it while making dinner or driving around town. Multitasking is the order of the day!
  • Fancy packaging and such are meaningless unless the music is so great it grabs the ear and makes us listen. Concentrate on the music, we don't care if the CD was burned on your computer or stamped in a factory.
  • Our opening acts are almost always local, we seldom book out-of-town openers unless they are traveling with the main artist.
If all this hasn't made you go back to your day job and give up on the business of music, you can e-mail us at booking@heartlandconcerts.org
