Calling all Emerging artists.

The Pleasantville Music Festival is New York's Backyard Jam. Each year, we reserve a few slots for up-and-coming and other compelling bands

Music submissionS will begin on January 1, 2025 and close on February 28, 2025. Here's what you’ll need to Submit:

Links to your music. A website with music or video pages so we can listen to you online. (No files, please.)
A write-up about your band. An EPK (Electronic Press Kit) or bio , including places you've played and tell us where you’re from!
A list of where and when you're playing locally in the upcoming months so we can catch you live.
Contact information, so we can reach you if we're interested. Of course, if you have all the above information on your website, that's ideal. Just let us know.

Subscribe to our mailing list and follow us on our socials below for the most up to date information.

Submitting is the only way to get a chance to play the Festival. Please do not reach out directly to Festival organizers.

here's What we'll do:

Once you contact us, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging your submission. Because we get many hundreds of submissions and only have a handful of spots available, we cannot contact everyone personally or entertain "how's it going?" inquiries. The review process takes months, so we will be busy. We will contact you if we think that you might make a good fit for our line-up. And if you don’t get in here for whatever reason, there’s always next year when you might be a better fit, who knows, we may be able to connect you with other Westchester County promoters. For example, we learned about Scott Tournet and the Spark through the 2024 submission process and they ended up on stage at White Plains’ Rock the Block last summer.

And please, If you don’t get selected, don’t take it personally. We love supporting new music. Local talent and bands with local connections of some kind get some extra love from us but we’re open minded about your kind of local connection.
