ROOFTOP SEEKS BANDS AND MUSICIANS FOR THE 2009 SUMMER SERIES

The Rooftop Films 2009 Summer Series will run from May through September and will feature more than 200 daring new films and 40 of NY's best and brightest musical acts. Held in outdoor settings throughout New York City, the series features live music and screenings of independent films that couldn't otherwise be seen in NY. More than 15,000 people attended Rooftop events in 2008, making it one of the most popular festivals in New York City.The 2009 Summer Series will feature bigger crowds, even more beautiful venues and more incredible films and music.

There is live music at every Rooftop show, and we take great pride in all the amazing musicians that perform alongside our films. Highlights have included TV on the Radio, The Mountain Goats, members of Fugazi and Califone, Chairlift, Frances, Phosphorescent, O'Death, Deer Tick, Dirty Purpose and more!

Rooftop's partnership with Sound Fix Records highlights the innovative new music being produced in and around New York and brings the best up and coming bands and performers to the rooftops. Highlights from Sound Fix presents at Rooftop Films: Phosphorescent, Chairlift, Marissa Nadler, Titus Andronicus, Dirty on Purpose, BELL, Deer Tick, Sharon Van Etten, Pwrfl Power and more!

Rooftop shows a wide variety of films from all over the world and we always try to match the music with the appropriate films. We are interested in musicians working in any and all genres: rock, blues, country, metal, R & B, world, folk, electronic, punk, jazz, latin, hip-hop, experimental (you name it). We program everything from established major label bands to singer-songwriters who have never performed anywhere but the NYC subways.

There is nothing like performing your music live on a rooftop with the sun setting in the distance and your image projected on a big screen behind you, so send us your tunes and be a part of one of our unforgettable events.

Submissions are considered on a rolling basis. Artists that make earlier submissions will be considered for more of the scheduled dates.

Submit your music and EPK through Sonic Bids. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Music Manager Danielle Kourtesis at music@rooftopfilms.com.
