newyorker:

Last year, it was limericks. The year before, haikus. You sent us your prettiest poetry, and some of you won New Yorker Festival tickets. But this year, we are upping our game—and yours.

We are looking for three up-and-coming acoustic bands or singer-songwriters to play at the Heineken Bandgarten, a hang-out at Joe’s Pub, in the East Village, where Festival-goers will be able to relax between events over food and drinks. Who supplies the music? You do!

To throw your hat into the ring, send a video of up to three minutes of you or your band (current members only) playing an original song to festivalbands@newyorker.com by Wednesday, August 22nd.
