Here’s how it works: you sign up for the 24-Hour Band Contest at bohemain.com. You tell us your name and what instrument you play. On Friday, we’ll meet and pick names at random, assembling bands made up of complete strangers—a drummer, a bassist, a guitarist, a singer, a keyboard player, a horn player, an accordionist, a rapper, a kazoo player… anything goes! The bands will then have 24 hours to get to work in the practice space, write two original songs and learn one cover song, and return to perform the next night at the NorBays!
FOLK / ACOUSTIC: Church Marching Band, Courtney Janes, Misner & Smith, Jen Tucker Band, Teresa Tudury
