Attention thoroughbred musicians! From now on, the Binding brewery is looking for the best bands and artists from Hesse. The occasion is the great anniversary of the traditional brewery, which will be 150 years old next year. Among other things, the celebration will take place at the brewery festival on August 1, 2020, and that's where the music comes in. Those who want to rock the stage as the opening act of the main act should apply and convince the jury with their own music.
It is the dream of many artists and bands to live out their musical passion on a big stage and to inspire the audience to the maximum. With the Binding Band Contest, young artists can now fulfill this dream. The best musicians from Hesse are being sought for an inspiring performance at the big brewery festival on 1 August 2020, as well as the opportunity to play an encore at the Museumsuferfest. Performances at various city festivals are also planned for the second and third place winners of the Binding Band Contest. And not only that: places 1 to 3 will receive a fee.
"With the Binding Band Contest, we as a traditional brewery once again underline how important lived regionality is to us," says Claudia Geisler, press spokeswoman for the Binding brewery. "We are already very excited about the musical samples from all over Hesse that we will get to hear as jury members."
Who can participate?
Bands and solo artists who live in Hesse and ideally already have some stage experience can apply. However, they should not have a record deal yet. In addition, they should be able to play a live set of at least 30 minutes. Participation is allowed from 18 years.
So simple it goes:
Fill out the entry form by January 17, 2020 at www.binding.de and upload two to three audio samples, videos, links, lyrics and images. Then it's a case of keeping your fingers crossed.
The jury, consisting of representatives of the Binding Brewery, the Binding ambassadors Mundstuhl and the music experts Michael Kercher, Oscar Canton, Michel Greulich, Björn Lautenschläger and Felix Moese, will initially select five artists or bands from all the applications. These will then face an online voting from March 2 to 31, 2020. The winners will be announced in April 2020.
