All musicians will be asked to perform at one of six spotlight events in front of a live audience, including producers, sponsors and fans. During these events producers, sponsors and fans will pick musicians and make a band. Ten bands will be created, highlighting a wide variety of genres.

“Almost everyone makes their own form of music in one way or another or has the desire to,” says James Book of Ninkasi Brewing Company. “For the Arts and Business Alliance of Eugene to nurture and encourage this in a fun way, while involving local businesses, perpetuates better local “arts-enhanced” living for all of us.”
Over $10,000 in cash and prizes, including production time and gear, will be awarded to musicians who participate in the Make-A-Band event.
Proceeds from Make-A-Band will go to Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene, a 501 c(3) non-profit that enriches our community through acting as a catalyst for dynamic arts and business partnerships. For more information, check out make-a-band.com.
