Judges include Hooper from Hooper Booking and Promotion; Adam Shull, entertainment writer for the Paducah Sun, Darris Shelby, Just Us Entertainment and Mary Thorsby of iList Paducah. The Carson Center's Chuck Tate will emcee the event.
"The Band Brawl is exactly the type of thing I love to see happening for our town," says Hooper, a recent iDate of the Week. "Paducah did such great things for local artists with LowerTown, and I think that the city and its musicians can have that same great friendship. Seemingly little things like this are actually the huge events that can establish the next decade or so of how our musical community will prosper or flounder."
Everyone is invited and encouraged to come to the brawl. It's free, and it's guaranteed fun. Plus DJ Urban Kobbb (above) will spin tunes between sets!
