New Submission Requirements for listings - updated August 18

Please follow the format requirements below. If your submission does not follow these requirements, your listing may not be posted. BostonBlues.com receives hundreds of emails a month and many of them repeat the same information. The format for submitting listings has been streamlined to expedite posting your event on the BBS website.

• There are three types of submissions - New, Change or PR (press release)
• Please check the current listings before submitting, and only send New listings.
• If you send a New event that is currently listed, your submission will be emailed back with a link to this page.
• We encourage you to send listings as far in advance as possible. Sending a listing a few days before your event may result in your listing not getting posted in time.
• Please filter your listing to include only bands appropriate to the audience of BostonBlues.com
  
  
• Subject Line
• Subject line must contain one of these keywords: New, Change or PR
• Subject line must contain the band, artist or venue name
• Subject line for press releases must contain event date or range of dates
  
  
• Message Body
• Common information for all listings that applies to your band/venue - website, location, genre, phone, contact info
• List each event in date order, date first, band or venue second, then website info or other details
• If this is a Change, add the words "delete" or "change from" and "change to"
• Please check our Blues Links page to check
  (a) Your band or venue's website listing is correct
