Thank you for your interest in
participating in FODfest, presented by Music in Common. By submitting your request to perform you agree to
the following terms.
- If
selected to perform, you agree to show up to the concert(s) you have been
selected for. Regrettably, each year Music in Common has to turn away many
musicians due to space limitations. Not showing up when selected not only
causes considerable production headaches, it takes away the opportunity
from other musicians to participate.
- FODfest is
a unique performance format. If selected, you agree to comply with the
performance guidelines. These guidelines vary with each event and will be
communicated to you via email by the event producer prior to the event.
- FODfest concerts are about community. Most of the musicians performing at any given event have
never met before. While jamming is a big part of the FODfest experience, respecting a
songwriter's / musician's request not to accompany them is equally important.
Please show respect and restraint when on stage.
- Each
artist who wants to lead a song will be assigned ahead of time the number
of songs they can lead based upon a variety of factors including number of
participants, musical needs, etc. This is typically 1-3 songs. While we
strive to accommodate as many requests as possible to lead a song, we
cannot guarantee it.
- Music in Common,
Inc. is a non-profit corporation. All performers agree to volunteer their
time to perform at FODfest. All concerts are free and open to the public.
All proceeds from donations collected at the concerts, merchandise sales,
and Premier Seating ticket sales help offset the production,
post-production, promotion, and tour expense incurred by Music in Common, Inc. as
well as underwriting Music in Common, Inc. programming.
- All
participants are responsible for their own travel expenses and for making
their own travel arrangements.
- By
agreeing to participate in FODfest, you are consenting to the recording
and filming by Music in Common, Inc. of your performance and hereby granting Music in Common, Inc. the right to include your name, likeness, and the
performance of your music in future promotional and commercially released

Music in Common, Inc. owns the right to any

the master of said song to the artist. Artist agrees to properly credit Music in Common, Inc. and its personnel on all commercially distributed products
