LRFest 2023 – Artist Applications Open for Listening Room Festival

Artist Applications for Listening Room Festival 2023 are open until July 30th, but only 160 applications will be accepted, so artists are encouraged not to wait until the deadline.

This festival helps artists make money playing house concerts, as they travel to play a showcase for the largest gathering of house concerts in the world. Several dozen house concerts will be scheduled over 3 nights.

Another unique twist is that the contest judges are active house concert presenters, so any artist in the contest has the potential to get a booking or two even if they don’t get selected as a festival performer. 60-70 judges from the Listening Room Network are expected this year.

The festival takes place March 9-12, 2023, in and around the Tampa Bay region. The festival showcase is March 10th at the Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg.

Last year’s artists included Danny Schmidt, Sam Robbins, Mare Wakefield and Nomad, and The Whispering Tree.

Music fans interested in hosting a show in their home or office are invited to contact the festival as well.

For Immediate Release

Listening Room Festival was a great introduction into the community in St Pete and all of our hosts did a fantastic job at setting up the space and making us feel right at home. The money was great and we made lasting fans and friendships.
