Saskatchewan artist applications are now being accepted for the 34th annual SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, July 9-18, 2021. We want to hear from musicians and bands of any genre and with project ideas who are interested in performing at the annual festival!

How we are able to celebrate all things jazz this July is still yet to be confirmed but definitely a work in progress. We ask for your patience and understanding through this process and encourage you to keep playing and stay safe.

Applications will be accepted until Friday, February 5, 2021.

CANADIAN ARTISTS

Due to the high cost of travel in Canada, most Canadian musicians who wish to perform as part of the Canadian jazz festival circuit need to apply for a Canada Council Touring Grant.

CANADIAN & INTERNATIONAL MUSICIANS, AGENTS & MANAGERS

Canadian and International artists who wish to perform should submit a press kit (CD, bio, cover letter, and DVD if available). Applications are accepted until February 28, 2021. Artists who wish to perform must submit a press kit (CD, bio, cover letter, and DVD if available). The majority of programming decisions will be made between January-March 2021.

Note: The Saskatchewan Jazz Festival is a proud and active member of Jazz Festivals Canada. Many Canadian Jazz Festival presenters meet in late October for the purpose of discussing and developing artist tours. In order to be considered at the tour development meetings, packages should be sent well in advance to each festival director responsible for programming.
