In addition to behind-the-scenes festival support, we are in need of musician housing in private homes in Upstate SC. Housing hosts will receive free access to all events performed by the musician(s) they host, in addition to getting to know the musician(s) on a personal level! All that is needed is a private bedroom, access to a bathroom, and a light breakfast on the morning following the musician’s night spent at the home. Please complete the form to indicate your interest in housing a musician(s) below.
