Register Your Band

Thank you for your interest in playing Music on the Barge! We are excited to learn more about you.

All submissions will be reviewed and 16 bands will be selected by the judges to participate in the battle based on experience programming for audiences of Music on the Barge (and our other municipal entertainment venue, The Gravenhurst Opera House) to help ensure the sustainability of both spaces.
