The Downtown Spokane Partnership (DSP) is seeking local musicians to perform at a variety of downtown events presented by DSP and community partners throughout the summer and fall of 2026.
Our events welcome thousands of visitors, residents, employees, and community members downtown to enjoy art, local businesses, food, and community experiences. We are looking for musicians who can help create a welcoming atmosphere with live music that complements the event without overpowering conversation. We are primarily seeking solo artists, duos, and small acoustic or lightly amplified groups performing music appropriate as background entertainment for public events. Performances should enhance the guest experience while allowing attendees to comfortably visit, network, shop, and enjoy the event.
