The BATTLE OF THE BREWERY'S BEST

"The Battle of the Brewery's Best" is pretty simple. Talented musicians will compete via live stream by playing 2-3 songs between March 1st and March 16th. 

The two musicians with the highest number of votes will take home a portion of the direct event donations from the DLG x Curtain Up Backyard Brewfest (the kick-off event for the nationwide collaboration beer created to support the live performance industry, the Curtain Up Beer).

The donation is already up to $250 per musician! The winning musicians only have to play 6 songs each in total!

HOW IT WORKS...

1. Ticket holders and/ or donors of at least $20,  will gain access to the DLG x Curtain Up Backyard Brewfest private virtual event page via a link sent to their email.

2. Participating musicians will go live during the first three weeks in March playing 2-3 songs in the DLG x Curtain Up Backyard Brewfest private virtual event page to show off their talents leading up to the event at their scheduled time.

3. Ticket holders and donors will then vote for their favorite musicians on March 16th @ 7:30pm

4. The two winning musicians will return at 8:00pm on March 16th to play an encore song for the voters.

5. Then, on March 27th @ 3:10pm, the winners will come back for 1-2 more songs to kick-off the official DLG X Curtain Up event!

Starving Musician (n.) - An artist who sacrifices material well-being in order to focus on their music. They typically live on minimum expenses, either for a lack of business or because all their disposable income goes toward their craft.  

We created the "The Battle of the Brewery's Best" to show some love to these people, to these live performers. The ones that used to jam for hours while we sipped on a cold one at our favorite brewery. Not only did they become the highlight of our week- they became part of our family.  

Many of these musicians may never go back to playing full-time, ever again. Whenever breweries do come back in full force, there will be so many available artists that the gigs will be spread thin, too thin to put food on the table for some.  It took years of their lives to get where they were, only for it all to be taken away in 10 months.  

We know we can't do a lot to help, but with your help, we can do a little.
