I fully encourage everybody to spend 2 minutes and get this done, but I don\'t know how much good it will do.
It\'s true, HSMF is one of the premier music festivals in the country. Always a top-notch lineup in a beutiful part of the country; that being said, it is very difficult to make it into the lineup.
Coming from a source very close to festival promoters, "you need to earn your spot at this festival." This requires heavy-touring and fortunate ability to have one of the concert organizers see or hear a live show or two. They are not just going to give the Breakfast a spot based on a few requests being sent to the festival\'s \'contact info\' email account.
I was singing the Breakfast\'s praises and playing some great stuff from the catalog for this person close to the festival organizers immediately after the \'06 festival. He was really impressed and digging their stuff, but he told me without earning your spot, it doesn\'t matter how good they sound. He even suggested that the band show up in the parking lot and just play. Anything to draw attention to themselves.
