Redwood Coast Music Festival is an all-ages American roots gathering held across Eureka, California in early October. Four days bring together more than 35 bands spanning Americana, blues, country, New Orleans jazz, rockabilly, roots music, swing, western swing, and zydeco, with food and beverages available around town. Artist decisions are handled through a talent-buyer function, but the public submission process is not confirmed. Capacity and production support are also show-specific, so performers should establish the correct booking route and confirm stage assignment, PA, monitoring, backline, technical staffing, set length, hospitality, and settlement before planning travel.
