Fresh Brewed Sessions™ is a unique storytelling concert series held in an intimate venue, such as a Cafe or Brewery. It typically features three talented artists, playing their original music in a live acoustic setting. Our team of professionals provide photo, video and audio services for all Featured Artists. Similar to MTV’s Unplugged or Vh1 Storytellers, these artists are encouraged to tell stories about their music, writing experiences and memories.
When will I hear back?
If your application is successful, you will hear from the local team in a few weeks. Due to the number of applications we receive, this process may take longer. If you don’t hear from us, your application has been unsuccessful this time, but please resubmit when you have new material!
HOW DO YOU SELECT WHO PLAYS?We work hard to specially curate each session’s lineup. Our diverse and knowledgeable team listens through all submitted music to find new featured artists, ensuring that there is no bias amongst submissions. This helps us find the best new original music and stories possible!
WHAT KIND OF SETUP WILL I NEED?Our sessions feature strictly original stripped-down acoustic music. While this does not necessarily mean “unplugged”, we ask that you do not bring amplifiers nor use any pre-recorded backing tracks. Microphones & DI boxes will be provided for all vocal and instrumental needs. We recommend using acoustic instruments & minimal backline. If you have any questions, please contact us here. Our team would be happy to answer all your questions!
Do I need to bring an audience?
Yes, even though Fresh Brewed Sessions™ has its own following, we require each featured artist to guarantee 5 ticket sales. Accepted artists must purchase 5 tickets in advance (at discount) to be held at will-call for their guests. We encourage artists to promote & create awareness of their session– aiding in the growth of our amazing Fresh Brewed Sessions™ artist & listener Community.
Will I get paid or compensated?
We want you to walk away with something valuable.
Fresh Brewed Sessions™ compensates its featured artists in photography, video & audio services. Our package includes professional photo coverage of your performance & one song professionally recorded, filmed and mixed. These services are valued at high cost and provided at each sessions free of charge to the artist (assuming the guarantee draw is met.)
