Remember last summer when we had our first Black Sheep Battle of the Bands in a while and it was a blast? (There was one in the very early years of Black Sheep but times were very different back then). Today we are announcing our Black Sheep Battle of the Bands “2.5” or 2014! It will be happening this year on Saturday, July 12th. We need your help in hunting down bands for this! If you are young and play in a band that has not played Black Sheep a whole lot, we need you! If you are in a high school or middle school band, talk to us! If you are neither of those things, we still might be interested in having your band on the roster for the Battle of the Bands this year. Here are some of the criteria we are looking for in bands:

– bands that have high school, middle school, or even college-aged members.
– bands that have not yet played Black Sheep, or have only played once or twice.
– new bands that have formed within the last year

If you are in a band that falls into any of those criteria and are from Springfield or the surrounding areas, we would like to hear from you! Email us at blacksheepspringfield@gmail.com and we will talk with you more about Battle of the Bands details.  Of course this year there will also be big prizes for two selected winners for the Battle of the Bands. One winner will receive a spot on Black Sheep Fest 2014, and another will receive a few songs recorded for free in South Town Studio.
