"What are you looking for from the artists?"

Good question! We are looking for ministry minded Christian artists, that present themselves in a manner that brings glory to God. We are not looking for "rock stars", but we are looking for servant hearts, those that strive for excellence in delivering their craft while representing the King of kings. Nehemiah Fest is a free admission, family oriented, multi-generational event. So we are looking for all types of Christian music. We will book nearly 50 bands this year - there are many moving parts! So we hope that everyone will be understanding, shows some grace, and be praying for the event. Over the last few years we average about 75-80 submissions for consideration for 50 slots - which means:

  • Not everyone will be selected
  • Not everyone can play on the main stage - so don't ask!
