After a very long and difficult judging session, we finally have our Top 10 acts for the Garage Band contest. One of the bands has unfortunately dropped out, leaving us with 9.
We had such a huge amount of great entries to choose from - the Okanagan truly does have talent!
Even if your band is not listed here, you still may be contacted in the spring for opportunities to play at one of the many summer concerts held by Festivals Kelowna/Parks Alive!
The top 9 bands have confirmed a date with the Rhythm Lab studios over the next few weeks to get a professional recording, and we'll have those songs ready for you to vote on.
Voting will begin sometime in the second week of March.
Our other partners are Wentworth Music who are donating a $500 GC for instruments and Sapphire night club who will be featuring the bands in a play down - we will post the times and dates as soon as they are scheduled.
Here, in no particular order, are the Top 9 finalists:
Scissorkick
Joshua Smith
SHIFTER45
Wild Son
Justin Hudda
Sterling
West Shore Falls
Diamond Steel
Paperboy
