The Pawtucket Red Sox and Rhode
Island Music Hall of Fame are providing a great
opportunity for local music artists to show their
stuff by entertaining their fans prior to home
games. Local artists are invited to play pre-game
concerts outside of McCoy stadium on a special stage
prior to each of the team's 72 home games this year.
Any local band or artist (Rhode
Island or nearby Massachusetts) may apply by filling
out the online form below. The Hall will work
with the Pawsox to promote the program and reach out
to the music community, and will be responsible for
the initial screening of applicants. Artists
accepted through this process will be passed on to
the Pawsox for final approval and selection of
dates.
Artists must provide links to some
of their live music as part of the initial
application process. You will be contacted by a Hall
representative if there are any questions and to
notify you of any decisions.
Following is information for bands
who wish to apply and the online application form:

There is no
payment for playing, nor are there any fees incurred
by the artists
