Band Together

Cincinnati has an incredible history of great singers and musicians. That tradition is carried on today through indie bands, local choirs, and maybe even your co-workers.

Through CincyJams, musicians at companies and organizations around the region can show-off their hidden talents, at the same time raising money for ArtsWave and the thousands of performances, arts education programs, exhibitions, festivals and more the organization funds.

A workplace battle of the bands, the winners of CincyJams are chosen by the audience. The bands play at Hard Rock Cafe on May 18 at 7 p.m. The free-admission event (for 21 and over) is designed to engage the community through bringing various companies together for an evening, while raising essential funds for the arts.

But you don’t need to wait until the show to cast your vote! The “Fan Funded” award will go to the band that raises the most money through this voting process.

Bands vying for this prize are

• Sugar Daddy from Jake Sweeney Automotive

• THE Polka Warriors from Great American Insurance

• The Other Band from Procter & Gamble

• The altafibers from altafiber

• The Bad Boyz from The Chambers Group

• Highway to Health from TriHealth, Inc.
