On June 7th, musicians ages 16 years and older can enter to win a band and a live show! A partnership between Dusty Strings and Nectar Lounge has created this creative competition – ‘All Shook Up!’
Musicians looking to expand their playing opportunities, to play with strangers and to collaborate, can put their names in the bucket (entry fee is $35) and earn a performance, an extra ticket to the show and a facilitated rehearsal. All instruments and genres are welcome!
The drawing will take place on June 7th, at 1p, when four names will be drawn for each band. These groups will meet that afternoon, discuss a plan for practicing and exchange information.
During five weeks of practicing, and preparing a 10 – 15 minute set of original and/or cover songs, each band will have a 2-hour rehearsal at Dusty Strings, facilitated by a seasoned gigster and music instructor to polish the set and prepare the band to win.
On Sunday, July 12th at 1p, a final show and competition between the bands will take place at Nectar Lounge, with the line-up chosen at random with a backline provided by Dusty Strings and Nectar. The top three bands will be chosen through audience vote, and announced after the final performance.
Sign up in advance on-line at Dusty Strings, or by calling 206/634-1662. To attend the ‘All Shook Up’ concert, purchase tickets through the Nectar Lounge website – $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
