Read full post...We are very excited to announce that Girls Rock! Chicago will be hosting a Rock Lottery as our next fundraising event.
Here’s the scoop; local musicians will be randomly grouped into bands based on a lottery style drawing. The bands have three weeks to prepare and rehearse an original song which they will play at a benefit show at the Abbey Pub on May 22, 2008.
The lottery is open to all musicians who are 21 and older, able to attend the lottery drawing and benefit show, and available to rehearse several times before the final show. The drawing will take place at:
