I AM Fest

We are happy to announce we are in our fifth year of putting on one of the biggest, independently produced arts and music festivals. In the past we have worked with over 500 bands and artists and are continuing to give opportunities for local bands to network, get in front of new crowds and a chance to open up at one of Chicago’s premiere music venues. 

 

The Elbo Room presents I AM FEST 2014 INDEPENDENT ARTS & MUSIC FESTIVAL. It will host 10 bands at Chicago's very own HOUSE OF BLUES on AUGUST 16^th of 2014. There is just one thing missing... the MAIN STAGE OPENING BANDS FOR THE SHOW and THAT COULD BE YOU!

There will be several Battle of the Band contests held at the Elbo Room. Bands will be provided with a basic backline (Guitar/Bass Cabs minus heads and Basic drum set and hardware minus kick pedal, snare drum and cymbals). 20 min sets for each band will be judged by a music industry panel and voted on by fans in attendance. 

 

This unique BATTLE OF THE BANDS looks for talented musicians that put on a great show and can win over an audience in person and LIVE online. The top 2 bands from each night advances to the Secondary Rounds on FRIDAY 6/6, 6/13, 6/20 and/or 6/27. 2 winners from each of those nights with 1 wild card will advance to the SEMI-FINALS on SATURDAY 7/5 or 7/12 along with 1 wild-card band. The winner and runner up of the FINALS (on SATURDAY JULY 26th) OPENS The 2014 I AM FEST at House of Blues presented by the ELBO ROOM Chicago.
