BANDS READ THIS!
Please select ONE member of your band to sign up for Performance Lane on behalf of the band. Due to the limited number of slots, we ask that you choose between performing with your band or performing solo.
SOUNDCHECK
We don’t mean to be a hardass about this, however; we assume that by now, most artists are comfortable performing on Zoom. We do not expect to walk you through your sound settings. Those will be provided to you in advance or you can see them here. Sound checks are offered to, and strongly suggested for, pre-scheduled performers who arrive at the Zoom room no later than 7:30 EST/6:30 CST. Sound checks are strongly suggested, and if there are sound issues we need to address during your performance slot, the time will be deducted from your 10-minute set.
