FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Rick's Tavern & Grille is Hosting "Cincinnati's Nest Big Band" Contest to Offer Unsigned and Unknown Bands an Opportunity to Take their Passion and Hobby to the Next Level. Fairfield, OH - March 10, 2010 - Cincinnati's Next Big Band is a music competition hosted at Rick's Tavern & Grille, starting April 15th, to allow any garage band, weekend band, part-time band, full-time band, young band, old band to play in front of a live audience and compete for prizes. The object of the competition is to give those unknown bands an opportunity to get noticed and possibly start their careers. There is no age, genre, or geographical limit for the contest, so all band types can compete in front of the judges for an opportunity to be Cincinnati's Next Big Band. Cincinnati's Next Big Band begins April 15th and will run every Thursday evening after that for 10 weeks. (Including 2 finals weeks) The contest is set up to allow 4 different bands play each night of the competition and are then critiqued by a four judge panel that will ultimately chose a winner each week. The winners are allowed to move into a semi-final/final playoff at the end of the competition. The final winner is given a paid weekend gig at Rick's, studio recording time, and a potential management contract. This contest is being sponsored and supported by many well-known, local companies. We will also have 4 members from different local bands judging the contest and Jim Miller of Dangerous Jim and the Slims will be the weekly host. We are hoping to gain your support to get the word out and let bands know about the contest and possibly bring in a good audience for them to play in front of each week. If your company can supply any sort of promotion, marketing, or advertising spots, we would be happy to consider you a sponsor and post your logo on all our marketing materials. We would also post any banner advertising you may supply in our facility during the contest nights. |
