DjangoFest Northwest Second Stage Performance Opportunities

In a few short months, the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA) will once again be welcoming musicians and Django fans to the Village by the Sea for the 26th annual DjangoFest Northwest, September 15-20. Applications are now open for Django musicians who are interested in appearing at the festival’s Second Stage—an opportunity to perform prior to the matinee and evening performances on WICA’s Zech Hall patio.

Whether a solo artist or a group, interested musicians should contact Troy Chapman at Troy.chapman@djangofest.com and share any information they feel relevant for their application (demo reel, artist/group bio, etc.). For those selected to participate, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other fans of Django music and to engage with the toe-tapping and enthralling music genre that has become an iconic part of life on Whidbey Island. In prior years, Second Stage performers have also been invited back in subsequent years to perform on the WICA Mainstage.
