If you are a musician interested in performing at Chemeketa Cellars, please review our one-page informational flyer and email eolalivemusic@chemeketa.edu. Please include links to your music and social media/webpage, if applicable.
We appreciate musicians taking the time to share your music with us. Please note that we receive a high volume of booking inquiries each week. While every submission is carefully reviewed, we are not not able to respond to all inquiries individually. If you do not receive a response from us within three weeks, please know that we have opted not to move forward with booking at this time. Below are some of the guidelines we use when selecting musicians:
- High-quality music, well-crafted performances, and engaging energy
- Music that matches the atmosphere of the Chemeketa Cellars tasting room and the interests of tasting room guests (which may differ from other venues)
- Preference is given to musicians with a local or regional following who actively promote to their audience, to foster a mutually beneficial relationship for both the musician and the tasting room
