From the MMF Web site: “The Miami Music Festival is the nation’s newest showcase and conference for emerging musical acts. Independent artists, and those invited by record labels and showcase sponsors will perform on more than 25 stages in clubs, restaurants, tents and hotels in the Brickell area of downtown Miami on December 10 – 12, 2009. Although The Miami Music Festival will present artists performing all genres of music including Alternative and Pop, the festival will feature Latin, Urban, Caribbean and Jazz.”

The festival will take place all over the Brickell area of Miami

Through October 15th, emerging bands and musicians have the opportunity to apply for a performance spot at the festival by visiting this page.

Applicants who are not chosen to perform still luck out: they’ll receive a credit toward the purchase of wristbands to attend the festival. Wristbands can be purchased for one day or all three.

The festival is sponsored by plenty of big names including ASCAP, BMI and YAMAHA. Don’t miss your chance to be heard! Miami is a major hub for the styles of music being showcased, and a particularly attractive destination during the winter months to visitors trying to avoid the snow up north.

This is the first installment of this exciting new festival. We hope that many more are to come!
