RICHARD DREYFEST 2015 - now taking submissions!

Hello and welcome to a new year and a new fest!


We thought we'd kick back and take it easy for a couple months before getting the 2015 plans going- you know, just hang on the couch and snack- but, surprisingly, during our relaxation, a few bands actually touched base with us and asked about the fest(!). To illustrate, here's a short dramatization, where the character of "us" is played by an unnerved Richard Dreyfuss, and the part of said bands is played by a creepily appetent Bill Murray:



Well, wait no more, you maladjusted weirdos: The August weekend of Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th is the scheduled time of Richard Dreyfest 2015! 


We are now taking submissions for any band/artist who'd like to play. We don't have a deadline for submissions set yet, but get them in early 'cause we can't accommodate everyone! Email us if you'd like a physical address to send music to. Otherwise, send mp3s or a link to your sound files (bandcamp, soundcloud and the like), with a short couple sentences about yourself and your project to: richarddreyfest@gmail.com


A quick note: our dear friends in Minot, ND are putting on their fest, Why Not?, on the very same weekend. Is this potential conflict? "NO!" we say! In fact, this might be really really rad for both their scene and ours 'cause now traveling bands can likely play both fests back to back!


Lastly, folks, if you are confused as to what, exactly, all this is...consult our statement: RICHARD DREYFEST is an all ages d.i.y. arts and music festival in Billings, MT. It is a multi-venue, multi-day event, hosting different recreational events all around the Billings area. 


SEE YOU AT DREYFEST!
