Rock Potluck :: January 12, 2008 from 7pm - 1am at the Historic Milo Arts Bldg.

THE ROCK POTLUCK IS SATURDAY, JANUARY 12TH 2008!!!!!

For those not familiar with the event, the Rock Potluck premise is simple, yet highly entertaining. 40 personally invited musicians representing 36 different bands will meet at 12 p.m. on the day of the Rock Potluck (Saturday, January 12th!). These volunteers are organized into eight groups at random. The eight new groups are then released to practice at different locations throughout the day. The musicians have nine hours to fashion a band name and three songs (two originals and one cover). The groups will then perform what they have created in front of a live audience that evening in the gymnasium of the historic Milo Arts Building (located at 617 East 3rd Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43201).
<--- MAPQUEST IT!

The musicians selected for this event are chosen from a wide variety of groups in the Columbus, OH area in an attempt to represent a unique mix of personalities and musical styles. The event intends to bring together many facets of a music community that may seem incompatible, as well as artists whose interests may conflict or never otherwise cross paths. The challenge for these musicians is to work together to create a unified group project that still contains the personal styles of each of the participants.

The Rock Potluck is a play off of the legendary Rock Lottery of Denton, TX (originally created by Chris Weber of Good/Bad Art Collective) where it has been a staple of their music scene for almost a decade. We hope our version, the brainchild of Two Cow Garage's Shane Sweeney and The New Dark Ages' Bobby Miller, will have a similar impact on the Columbus music scene and the city at large for many years to come. Our Rock Potluck will also incorporate a holiday potluck dinner. And who doesn't love the warm milieu of a holiday potluck dinner?

This year doors will open at 7:00 p.m. for food and socializing with music beginning at 9:00 p.m. SHARP!

Tickets can be purchased at the door on the night of the show for only $3 (21+) or $5 (ages 18-20).

Proceeds from the Rock Potluck will benefit the Milo Arts Community, StandUp For Kids and Ohio Culture Works.
