“Finding that band that sounds great in the studio is one thing, finding that band that is great live is another, finding one that combines both is what inspires me.”

Creator,

From American Idol to The Voice and all the shows in between,

there has been an overabundance of individual performers on

music talent shows. Like, where are all the bands?! Where are

the talented musicians who choose to be a team, who work

hard––despite perhaps conflicting personalities––to put on a

dazzling performance that blows us away?

That’s why we got excited when we heard about the prospect

of a television talent competition that’s strictly for bands. At

Music Connection, we see and hear plenty of talented bands

that deserve a wider audience, acts that would welcome the

opportunity to pit their art & craft against all others.

Next Band Rising?….Let’s get ready to rock!

“I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it's not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That's how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a musician.”
