We welcome and encourage both up-and-coming and established bands to apply for performance dates at Park After Dark at the Riverbend Amphitheatre. Please read the following policy to learn more:

1.    The Department of Parks and Recreation reserves the right to determine a group’s suitability for initial or continued performance in our program.

2.    The Department of Parks and Recreation does not pay performers for the open music nights.  All performers perform on a volunteer basis.  All performers must bring their own equipment.  Electricity is available on stage.

3.    The following dates are open for 2014 musical performances (6pm-Dark):

JULY 18TH
AUGUST 8th

4.    The Department’s wait list for new performing groups is established on a first-contact, first served basis.  If more dates are needed, due to an excess of interested performers, more open music nights will be added.  To add your name to the list, please email contact information and musical genre to sroyer@mountvernon-in.com.     

5.    Representatives from perspective new groups can send a demo or link to a YouTube video, if available to above listed email or:

6.    Please indicate how much time you would be comfortable playing.  The maximum time allotted is around 3 hours (6pm – Dark).  You may be asked to do less time than you indicated due to multiple performers on a single night.
