Big Old Big One - Big Old Big One is an independent Music Video Blog, derived from the desire to support hard working musicians, by sharing their music with an ever-growing online family, that is passionate about music in its most organic and stripped down way. The shows are filmed in the “Off Stage Show” genre, featuring musicians performing live, acoustic music in different places, anywhere but the stage. Each episode will feature a new musician performing a 3-song set (originals and covers) accompanied by Eran Shaysh on percussion. They will feature a new artist every week. The deadline to submit is Feb. 14th.

Lilac Festival at 4th Street - The Lilac Festival, coming into its 23rd year, will be held on Sunday May 27th, 2012. This is a free annual event taking place on the last Sunday of May and is a street festival stretching over 13 blocks of 4th Street SW in Calgary, Alberta. This festival has been a great medium for local artists to gain massive exposure due to an attendance of over 100,000 each and every year. There are 30 programmed spots over 7 stages open to Sonicbids members, and the event would prefer a large range of genres. Compensation is provided to artists and is negotiable on an individual applicant basis. The deadline to submit is Feb. 15th.

In addition to pre-publicized performances, impromptu street gigs spring up all over town. The Alternative Escape, numerous club nights, label parties, industry showcases, unique collaborations and outdoor gigs all add to the festivities. The deadline to submit is Feb. 17th.
