RedGorilla Music Fest launched five years ago as the DreamScapers Artist Showcase and has grown each year under that name. In 2007, over 200 artists participated in shows at venues on 6th Street in Austin, Texas.

In 2008, the event will host over 300 bands and solo artists; still its mission remains the same: to promote up-and-coming independent music in all genres and help independent artists further their careers.

RedGorilla showcases will take place from Wednesday, March 12, to Sunday, March 16, in clubs on 6th Street, right in the heart of all the action. The event continues to be a “No Badge Required” event. It is free to attend and is open to the general public.

RedGorilla Music Fest takes place during one of the most important music weeks of the year. It is the music industry’s premier destination for the year, and thousands of fans and music industry professionals descend upon Austin to network and check out new talent.

RedGorilla offers showcase slots to bands and solo artists so that they can take advantage of this excellent opportunity. RedGorilla is all about showcasing and making it the best experience possible. Over the years, some of the hottest up-and-coming acts in the world have been showcased by RedGorilla Music Fest. As a result, RedGorilla Music Fest has received international media attention and a reputation for being the showcase for new music.
