For the first time, the Tanglewood Jazz Festival will host a video contest for four performance slots in the popular Jazz Café.  Submissions may be made online May 6 through June 15.  Winners will be announced July 1.  Jazz Café performances are presented prior to each main stage concert in a relaxed, cabaret style setting and are free with a ticket to the main stage concert.

Artists are asked to submit a link to their video and electronic press kit though the music website, Sonicbids at

Artists selected to perform will receive national publicity and promotion for their appearance in the Jazz Café and a nominal travel fee.  Artists who have headlined at a jazz festival or similar event, or in a large concert hall venue will not be accepted for consideration.  There are no restrictions on age.
