Submissions/Promotional
Always on the lookout for some good music, we welcome bands and labels to send it our way. We listen to everything we get though we don’t provide “rejection” letters or editorial feedback. We can though provide proof of receipt.

Shows/Promotion
Bands and labels looking for an untapped city to hit while on tour should drop us a line and we can help find a venue and some hungry music fans to fill it up. Fayetteville, Arkansas is a mid-size college town in the southern Midwest and is nestled conveniently between several cities that are standard stops for tours big and small. In the past few years we’ve had Dr. Dog, Jenny Lewis, Sonic Youth, The Shins, and Wilco come through and sent them along boasting our merits.

We fabbed up a map so you can get a good look at where exactly we are, and you can also check out the Visitor’s Bureau for the official word on what we have to offer.

Send an email our way and we’ll gladly figure something out.
