The battle will take place at the bandshell on Baltimore and Arnold avenues from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 8. The rain date is the following day, Sunday, June 9.
Bands have until April 1 to send in submissions. To do so, send an email to battlebandsppb@gmail.com with the following: a clean .mp3 or .wav file of songs, a .jpeg file of the band’s image/logo, links to videos of two to three live performances, social media handles, a quick bio and/or link to the band’s website and links to music sharing via Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music or others.
The grand prize is $1,000, presented by the Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce in partnership with radio station WRAT 95.9 The RAT and its show Jersey Rock.
