Mendo MusicFest is now MendoLake MusicFest

Organizers of the event are thrilled to announce that after a week of relishing in the dozens of musical submissions, we have decided to rename our festival “MendoLake MusicFest” in the spirit of inclusion and recognition of the community shared between residents of Mendocino & Lake Counties. Ultimately, our community is made better through song, and organizers are excited to showcase the musicians of Lake County and share in the experience with its citizens.

The MendoLake MusicFest is hosting a free, “live- streamed” concert event, featuring and celebrating local musicians and performers on Sunday, May 24.

We are currently seeking video submissions of some of your best work — recorded from a previous live performance or something recorded virtually — to share with the community.

Organizers will select exemplary performance footage submissions and stitch them into a cohesive performance video. Our goal is to produce an hour to an hour and a half event, showcasing musicians from all age groups and genres of music.

Please include the following when you email your submission:

- Per former/ Group/ Band Name - Song Selection -Video of a previously recorded performance or a virtually compiled performance created while maintaining social distancing practices. -Name(s) of the Performer(s) -A short biography on your band / what you want the audience to know (about the band or the song) - Contact information.

Email your submission information to mendolakemusicfest@gmail.com no later than Friday, May 15. Due to the number of submissions, do not expect a receipt response for your submission. You will be notified if you are selected or if we need more information from you.

If you or someone you know has a song to sing, share your melody with Mendocino County for this year’s Mendo Musicfest. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the event organizers at mendolakemusicfest@gmail.com.
