List yourself with us

People are always asking me about how and where to hire bands locally, so.... on this page, your page, we shall create a menu of bands and vocalists that are available for gigs both in the Central Valley and wherever the fee will take you.  These listings are free (at least for now)  and we will direct inquiries to this page. 

We will list the groups in the following categories and you must decide which fits you best:  

Rock,   Jazz,   Country,   Swing/Big Band Era,   Blues,   Pop,   Latin/Afro/Cuban,  Classical,  Vocalist

You can submit your information to appear in the format as shown below.  One photo will be allowed and please use as many links as you like.   Write a small paragraph selling yourself and outlining the style of music that you play.  Fees are not to be listed as you shall deal with that direct.   You may list an email  address or set up an email address as xxxxxx@eartsnews.com and we will set that to forward to you if you do not want your email listed.  Most importantly...the need to know how to get a hold of you.  For now, just email the information to us.  We will be setting up a form for you to use.   We do ask that if your group disbands, to please let us know so we can remove you from this site. 

Be it known that somewhere down the line, there MAY be a hosting and setup fee, but believe me, it will be minimal.  You will be informed in advance of when that will happen, if it does.

We will do what we can to promote your listing.
