Battle of the Bands!
Food For Thought Sponsors Battle of the Bands! Winners to Play Libbey Bowl
Food For Thought is sponsoring a local Battle of the Bands for youth in Ojai and Ventura. The three winning bands will open the Locally Grown fundraising concert on August 25 at Libbey Bowl featuring headliners Brett Dennen - currently touring with John Mayer - and Perla Batalla – Grammy nominated vocalist and Ojai resident. The event will be the second Locally Grown fundraiser for Food For Thought Ojai; the first concert in 2005 featured singer/songwriter Jack Johnson.
The Battle of the Bands is open to youth ages 13-20 from Ojai and Ventura, and will take place August 4th and 5th at the Matilija Junior High School Auditorium from 10am – 5pm. Bands performing all varieties of music, from straight edge and punk to jazz and acoustic, are encouraged to enter. In addition to opening the Locally Grown 2 concert, the three winning bands will also be able to record their chosen song in a professional sound studio and receive free CD copies of the recording.
Entry forms and a sample recording must be submitted by July 6. Rules and other information can be found on the Food For Thought Ojai Web site.
Food For Thought is a grassroots, community-driven nonprofit organization, working in partnership with the Ojai Unified School District to bring nutrition education, locally grown foods, and agricultural literacy to the children of the Ojai Unified School District.

The Battle of the Bands is open to ALL types of bands and music, so I urge all of our talented youth out there to enter. It is a great opportunity for exposure for your band, not to mention the free recording session in a world class studio with professional sound engineer. Don't wait too long--deadline for entry is July 6!
