Band registration is now open! Any bands interested in playing should choose three songs to cover, in any combination from the bands listed above. There are plenty of songs to choose from so there will be no repeat songs - once a band claims a song, it's theirs. We will update this page with the selections taken as bands sign up. Please stick to the list of bands above. All bands are welcome to participate, but this isn't karaoke night!

Once you've chosen your songs, send an e-mail to jamie@artvoice.com with your band name, song selections, and contact information. We'll be in touch to confirm and will release the final schedule and more information as the date approaches.

See you at Nietzsche's on September 10th!
