We only release "Down Home" music (if you're not certain what that is, check out our catalog for examples). i.e. a band that mixes traditional Middle Eastern rhythms with modern dance beats would NOT be something to send us (the "modern dance beats" is not Arhoolie). The more authentic the better.

If you are an artist who wishes to submit your music to us, please keep in mind that we recieve literally hundreds of artist inquiries, and as such we cannot make any guarentee that you will recieve a reply.

We cannot return submited materials.

Given those warnings, if you still wish to send us materials do so by mailing them to:
Artist Inquiries
Arhoolie Records
10341 San Pablo Ave
El Cerrito, CA 94530

PLEASE DO NOT SEND US EMAIL SUBMISSIONS!
They are quite hard on our email server, and any such emails will be discarded.

We do understand that it is difficult to make it in the current music market, and appologize if our policy seems unkind. We are an independent record label, and as such cannot devote a lot of time to review music that does not fit our style. We hope these guidelines do save you some time and/or money. Good Luck.
