SuperMonkey Recording Co. and Pat DiCesare present The PennRock Scholarship tomorrow at Thunderbird Cafe in Lawrenceville that is sponsored by Straub Brewery.
This annual showcase helps to build and promote bands from the Pittsburgh region, to Ohio, New York and West Virginia.
A celebrity panel of judges including lead man from jam band Rusted Root, Michael Glabicki, will pick a winner based on points per category including: songwriting, live performance, musicianship and crowd reaction.
Each act will get 20 minutes to perform a few of their original songs and one interpretation of a Beatles song in celebration of of the 50th anniversary of their performance in Pittsburgh in 1964.
Prizes for the winning talent are phenomenal and include a recording agreement with CD's produced, showcase opportunities at venues across the region and free Straub Beer for a full year!
President of SuperMonkey Recording Co. and front man for his band, SM sat with me this morning and said, "Ditch the idea of a battle of the bands because this event is so much more. Our goal is to help local talent take their musical careers to the next level."
SuperMonkey will be opening the night with some of their original songs and of a course a Beatle's classic as well. They were recently nominated the best rock band to come out of Pittsburgh.
Be there tomorrow on the very artistic and fun Butler Street in Lawrenceville. The doors are at 8 pm and tickets are $10 at the door. To preorder tickets visit Thunderbird's website.
And come say "Hi" to me! I'll be helping promote and selling SuperMonkey merch and probably enjoying a Straub Beer.
