Here’s something you should check out. The Road to Bonnaroo starts tonight at Mercy Lounge! Many are familiar with Mercy’s 8 off 8th series – a free Monday night concert showcasing eight local bands that play super short sets – giving audience members a crash course in what’s happening in the scene. “The Road to Bonnaroo” is the ultimate of 8 off 8ths, where the best local bands compete for a slot on the Bonnaroo bill. Say what?!
Mercy Lounge is given three spots to fill, so there are three installments of “The Road to Bonnaroo.” At each event, everyone is handed a ballot, so they can vote for the most deserving artist.
Tonight’s line-up includes:
Brandon Jazz and His Armed Forces
By Lightning!
Colorfeels
The Hollywood Kills
Laura Reed ft. Shannon Sanders
Quichenight
Sam & Tre
Toy
“The Road to Bonnaroo” always delivers a strong variety, so I recommend getting down there and rocking the vote. If you can’t tonight, the other “Road to Bonnaroo” nights are March 26th and April 16th.
Speaking of Bonnaroo, did you get your tickets this weekend? You better get over there and do it before they’re all gone. I mean, The Beach Boys, Radiohead, Phish, Skillrex, Bad Brains…it’s only a matter of time.
