This year, the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival will be picking 5 BANDS to join their January 21st or January 28th lineups. No need to have to a banjo in the band, it’s just a catchy contest name.
Artist Submissions: Between now and December 31st, follow the mega-simple steps to submit your act.
Voting: Vote once per day, every day, if you want to make a life-changing difference for some deserving artists. The online voting period begins on January 1st and concludes on January 13th. Each e-mail address will be allotted one vote per day, so encourage your supporters to vote early and often!
The Decision: On January 13th the votes will be tallied and the Two Bands with the most votes along with 3 of Top 20 vote-getters chosen by Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival organizers will play at either the Auditorium Theatre or Congress Theater main events.
Real Time Voting Results: Is your favorite band in first place? If not, maybe you should spread the word a little better.
