York Revolution News Release
(York, Pa): The schedule is set as twelve (yes that's 12) local bands will play during the Saturday, May 24 Revolution game against the Camden Riversharks. Each band will have the opportunity to play between one inning for the chance to win over the crowd. Fans in attendance will choose the opening act for the upcoming Blues Traveler concert on June 14 at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
Bands selected to play include:
The Sleeping World- Lancaster, PA
Chris Scheler- York, PA
The Dropzines- PA/MD
Mark DeRose- York, PA
Stone Blue- Red Lion, PA
Safe Jacket- PA
Bruised & Banned- MD
JC Fisher Band- Mount Wolf, PA
Sweet Sister Misery- York, PA
Kasper- PA
Colonel Mustard- York, PA
Little Ivory Blues Band- York, PA
Bands will set-up on the third base concourse side and replace much of the recorded music normally played during Revolution home games.
"It's going to be wild. We typically run a live promotional show with canned music - now everything is live," said Greg Vojtanek, Director of Marketing and Promotions for the Revolution. "It's like American Idol squeezed into one game."
At the conclusion of the 6th inning, fans in attendance will be issued ballots to determine their favorite band. The winning band will be announced at the conclusion of the game and will receive gifts including a suite, $500 in prize money, four season tickets, a meet and greet with Blues Traveler, and will be the opening act for the first major outdoor concert in downtown York.
"This is pretty exciting to have the chance to open for one of our idols and who we based our music career around," said Seth Shoemaker of the Little Ivory Blues Band.
