How do I become an ND Roots correspondent or get a venue signed up?

ND Roots pairs writers across the globe with music venues in their community. We’ve created this special space on No Depression so that we can be sure the best live music at the best venues in all the best Americana/roots music scenes gets covered. If you’re interested in becoming an ND Roots correspondent, email our editor (kim at nodepression dot com) with writing samples and an idea about the venue with which you’d like to be connected. 

Writers: Apply to be a No Depression correspondent here.
Correspondents are paired with a top venue in their town and commit to writing four reviews per month in exchange for access to shows at the ND Roots venue.

Venue managers: Apply to be an ND Roots venue here. (Login required. Please create an account.)
We want to partner with top Americana venues for the ND Roots program. ND Roots venues are prominently featured on the site and become an integral part of the ND community.

Here’s how it works: If your venue is selected, we’ll pair you up with a music writer in your town. In exchange for access to four shows a month, he or she commits to writing four reviews a month for publication in No Depression. You’ll get a dedicated page on No Depression for your venue, which you can customize, and which will feature all your ND Roots reviews and venue information. (Here’s an example.)

Fans: Contact us to suggest a venue. We love your ideas!
