New this year, the Troubadour Festival Local Openers Showcase will offer a career-shaping opportunity for local musicians and house bands to perform as openers for each of the Troubadour Festival main stage headliners. Selected through a local jury process, these emerging artists will take the stage in front of thousands at Meridian Place and perform in a true “rockstar” atmosphere. Youth artists and those over 18 are encouraged to apply. 12 performance slots are available.
