In the Groove: Battle of the Bands (New York)

In the Groove Battle of the Bands, now entering it’s third year, is an exciting and innovative event that provides musicians, young and old, with the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of thousands of people and compete with the best musicians in the Northeast to win a recording contract. While only still in it’s infancy, the In the Groove Battle of the Bands has sold out two of it’s first three events, and participating bands have played to groups of over 200 people.

In the Groove: Battle of the Bands 2011 will present 64 bands from throughout the Northeast in two rounds of competition.

Eight first place winners will be selected in Round 1, and will receive an on-air radio interview and performance, gear, recording session, and coaching session by professional School of Groove ensemble coaches.

Two grand prize winners will be selected in Round 2, and will receive a management contract for a 2012-13 US Tour, a music publishing contract for one book with School of Groove Press, and a performance at the legendary Symphony Hall in Boston, MA.
