A Message for Musicians
“If you or your band plays unique music and you believe you’ve got what it takes to be great, we want to hear from you! Please click here to submit a video or MP3 of your work for review and consideration.”
The Michael V. Holdt Music Foundation is seeking exceptional bands and musicians with a distinctive, original sound who share our passion for bringing great music to communities and expanding opportunities for artists to be heard.
Our goal is to help talented musicians overcome barriers; develop the resources they need, gain meaningful exposure, and turn their musical aspirations into real opportunities.
Selected artists may be invited to participate in Foundation-sponsored concerts, showcases, community events, and other performance opportunities, while receiving practical support to help them pursue their musical goals.
The Foundation’s commitment goes beyond providing a stage. Depending on the needs of the artist and available resources, support may include professional mentorship and guidance, studio recording time, website development, social media and promotional assistance, instruments and equipment, and access to tools and training that can help artists strengthen their careers and reach new audiences.
