As an avid show attendee, I end up at our local House of Blues quite a bit (recently for a sweet, dance-filled Robyn concert). So, I know how crazy-cool it would be to be able to play on a House of Blues stage. And now’s your chance!
Live Nation presents the House of Blues New Music Nights, powered by Sonicbids. Bands can submit for the opportunity to play the House of Blues in their local market – and all selected bands will then be included in a fan-driven campaign where the top band will also play at the other two House of Blues clubs in their region.
This program kicks off in the West region in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego with shows this summer and is expected to roll out to other regions in the coming months.
Here’s how it works:
The House of Blues is looking for bands from Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego (or within 50 miles of these cities) that have experience playing in their local market and have a good draw. Band submissions will be reviewed by local music bloggers and talent buyers from the House of Blues who will select three bands in each market to play a show at their local House of Blues.
In mid-May, these nine bands will be included on the House of Blues New Music Nights website, where their fans will be able to pledge that they’ll go see their favorite band play at the House of Blues. By pledging, fans will get a coupon for $5 off their $10 ticket to the show. The band with the most fan pledges will get to play at the other two House of Blues clubs in the region.
And the best part? You can submit for FREE! So, for all you West coasters out there, get your songs in order and submit now! The deadline to submit is April 27th. Submit here.
