Come join us in Creek Park TOMORROW, April 27th from 4:00-8:00pm for our first ever Teen Battle of the Bands competition!
from Town of San Anselmo
There are 10 teen bands (ages 9th-12 grades) signed up and ready to play!
The bands will be judged by an all-star panel of judges who will bring a high level of expertise and industry experience to the show. We couldn’t be more excited to announce our panel which includes Johnny Colla of Huey Lewis and The News, Craig Bartock of Heart, Mark Nelson of Walking Mirrors (and San Anselmo’s Live on the Avenue Rockstar Sponsor), Paul Liberatore - columnist from the Marin IJ, and Eileen Burke - Mayor of San Anselmo.
The winning band will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a chance to play at Live on the Avenue 2024! They will also get one song professionally produced and recorded by two amazing producers and local musicians – Craig Bartock and Aidan Nelson. Craig Bartock, of Your Musicality, is a music industry veteran with numerous credits in records, live work, production, and songwriting. He is a long-standing member of the iconic rock band HEART. Aidan Nelson, of Salter, is a talented musician and sound engineer who has had the pleasure of working with many prominent musicians including Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, The Wailers, Steve Poltz, the Wood Brothers, and many more. The runner-up will win $500.
This community event is completely free to attend, so get your chairs ready, tell your friends, and come support these young musicians!
