Offered as part of IHOBF's Action for the Arts Initiative, this event creates opportunities for youth to perform onstage at House of Blues, to pay tribute to blues and blues-inspired music, and to support local youth arts programs.
Open to high school students enrolled in grades 9-12, Bringin' Down the House will link today's young performers with their musical roots.
To be considered for the competition, eligible musicians submit one original song related to any of the follow genres: blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, soul, funk, rock and roll, rap and hip hop. Selected bands, groups, or solo performers are chosen to compete at a ticketed event open to the public.
Proceeds will support the competition and other IHOBF arts programs for local youth. A panel of judges will select a winner on the competition day.
