Best of the West 5 to Kick Off at Herman’s Hideaway
Herman’s Hideaway will be hosting the fifth installment of its’annual its prize battle, Best of the West, starting November 8 with the preliminary rounds going through February 2014. The three-round, nearly five month long contest sends one winner to an opening slot at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to open for Film on the Rocks, plus a cash prize and a slew of other hook-ups.
Featuring a plethora of bands from the front range, including many who have participated for multiple years, Herman’s Hideaway as well as the bands are excited to get underway. “Contests like Best of the West are a great opportunity to play for new crowds and get to know other bands and see what they bring to the table,” says Chris Michaels of Portobello Road, who are taking part in the event. “We’ve been a part of BOTW before and one of the best things is the bands aren’t really competitive. They cheer each other on, which is really good to see.”
Winners are decided by fan draw, a panel of judges, and crowd noise, with one winner from each night advancing to the next round. For more info on the contest and a complete list of artists taking part, head to Herman’s Hideaway’s website.
