The 2013 Cavendish Beach Music Festival combines the world’s greatest "country" music talent performing live in the breathtaking Avonlea Village of Cavendish Beach, thereby linking the viewers to their favorite artists in a landmark location that typically would be visited only in their "dreams."

Selected artists will be used to support the national headliners on the "Main" stage, and/or performances in the intimate settings of “The Kitchen" stage. Selected artists will be compensated up to $1,000 with lodging. Specifics will be determined on a case-by-case basis. At least one slot is reserved for a Sonicbids artist.

In addition to the artists' live performances, Cavendish Beach and Prince Edward Island will showcase the history of the region and culture that surrounds it. Adjacent to the festival grounds are acres of beautiful camping areas, facilities, and of course some of the world’s most magnificent beaches and surroundings.

Producers expect to broaden the genres of music included in the 2013 Cavendish Beach Music Festival.

Genres Accepted: Country, Folk, Pop, Acoustic, Bluegrass, Singer/Songwriter
