Organizers seek bands performing salsa, reggae, R&B, alternative, classic rock and country
PHOENIX, Ariz, (Oct. 10, 2006) - The P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon & ˝ Marathon is now recruiting bands to play along the course on race day, Jan. 14, 2007. More than 30,000 participants will run and walk the 26.2 and 13.1-mile courses to the unique sounds of over 70 live bands selected to perform at the event.
The musical running event provides a unique opportunity for bands to play to an appreciative audience in a positive, healthy, upbeat environment. Event directors are looking for all formats of music. Invigorating, high-energy music - to motivate and entertain the runners and walkers - is required. Everything from salsa to reggae, R&B to alternative, and classic rock to country is welcome.
Bands interested in "rockin' the routes" should apply now. All bands that apply by Oct. 25, 2006, will have the chance to win a $500 gift card to P.F. Chang's China Bistro. Band crew members receive free event T-shirts and tickets to the evening headliner concert featuring the Gin Blossoms.
Sound, stage and promotion are included. Send a CD or tape, bio information and a photo to Entertainment Solutions, Inc., Attn: Carolyn Reyes, 4130 N. Goldwater Blvd., #215, Scottsdale, AZ 85251. For additional information and questions, contact Carolyn Reyes at 480/663-0700 or email Carolyn@solutionsaz.com. All band submissions must be received by Oct. 31.
