The Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival is brought to you by Winthrop Music Association (WMA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2005 whose mission is to BUILD COMMUNITY THROUGH MUSIC. We believe that music is a catalyst for joy, connection, and healing.
Our vision is to offer audiences, musicians, volunteers, and staff a profound and unique experience of diverse world-class music, community, and natural beauty; and for the Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival and the Winthrop Music Association to be vital partners in creating and sustaining a vibrant cultural and economic ecosystem in the Methow Valley.
WMA is a proud supporter of The Cove Food Bank, Liberty Bell High School Music Program and Booster Club, Methow Arts, Room One, Washington Blues Society Musician Relief Fund, Tommy Zbyszewski Methow Valley Education Foundation scholarship and many others.
BAND SUBMISSIONS
If you are interested in performing at the 2025 Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival, submit your EPK no later than December 31, 2024 to talent@winthropbluesfestival.com.
We begin reviewing talent in the late fall. Keep in mind that we only have 12 slots for our festival, and competition is keen for those few slots.
If we are slow to respond to your submission we apologize. For the handful of slots reserved on the Festival lineup for regional acts and lesser known national acts (the rest being filled by the proven touring acts and headliners we actively seek) we are inundated with submissions. We are a volunteer-run organization and can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of submissions. Bands can submit EPKs however works best for them or they can submit a hard copy.
We have much respect for all of you as a musicians, performers, businesses. Putting together a festival lineup is much like curating a museum exhibition, and we look to regional acts to complement and round out the lineup shaped by our headliners.
