Musical Performer’s Press-Kit
If you are a professional Jazz Artist and would like to perform at one of our events, or you manage/represent a Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble that you would like us to consider hiring to perform at one of our events, you must provide a press-kit in hard form. (NO EXCEPTIONS)
We receive three to four electronic press-kits a week, over fifteen to twenty electronic press-kits a month for us to review. If you send us a press kit in hard form, we are more apt to read your biography and performance information and listen to your CD’s or view your DVD’s.
Press-kits should include:
1. CD’s recorded by Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble
2. DVD’s or Videos of past musical performances by Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble
3. Photo or photos of Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble
4. Biography of Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble
5. Biography of any known Jazz Artist currently performing in your band that may have performed with other well- known bands prior to joining you or the ensemble
6. List of venues and dates of past performances by Jazz Artist or Jazz Ensemble
7. Any special music awards or accolades that performer or ensemble has received in the past, Example, Grammy Award, Emmy Award, etc.
Jazz Artist and Jazz ensemble must fulfil at least five of the seven requirements listed above in order to be
considered to be featured to perform at one of our events. CD’s & DVD’s must be of a professional quality and we do not employ high school Jazz bands, youth Jazz bands or Jazz Artists under the age of 17 to perform.
If we decide to employ you or your ensemble to perform at one of our events, we will contact you or your agent with date and times of performance and submit our offer to you. If you or your agent accepts our offer, we will start negotiations and forward a contract to you or your agent to secure a binding and legal agreement.
Although we only hire bands that perform jazz at our own events, we do accept press-kits from musical performers or ensemble that performer other genres of music. Since we work with many musical performers, we are often contracted by individuals and companies to hire musical artists to perform at other events around Texas, so we do accept press-kits from musical artists and ensemble that perform, Country, Tejano, R & B, Rock-N-Roll, etc.
If you have any questions towards performing at one of our events, please email us at SASJazzFEST@gmail.com or SASJazzFESTExecutiveDirector@gmail.com or you may call us at (210) 772-2900.
