CincyJams, a workplace band competition from ArtsWave, features more than 10 bands from throughout the region who will take the stage tonight at Hard Rock Cafe. More than just a show, the event is a fun way for people to cheer on their coworkers while raising money for the arts in the region.

The top two bands – the “Fan Favorite,” selected by audience applause and the “Fan Funded,” selected by funds raised to support the arts – will have the chance to perform at this year’s BLINK, illuminated by ArtsWave, happening October 13-16.

You can support the “Fan Funded” band by going to artswave.org/fanfunded. So far, Cincy Jams has raised more than $10,000 for ArtsWave, the region’s engine for the arts. Along with the BLINK performance, members of the “Fan Funded” band will receive pairs of tickets to this year’s Cincinnati Music Festival presented by P&G, featuring headliners Charlie Wilson and Janet Jackson.

The “Fan Favorite” band will have the chance to cut their own album as they prepare for their appearance on stage at BLINK, with recording time at Studeō Par- in Northside through Cincinnati Music Accelerator. Prior to the recording session, they will receive two one-on-one coaching sessions – one from the family of Bootsy Collins and the other from Drew Lachey. The runner up team to the “Fan Favorite,” will receive Beer for a Year.

CincyJams is part of the 2022 ArtsWave Campaign, the largest community campaign of its type in the nation and the primary local source for funding the region’s arts. After two years of a pandemic that has created $140+ million in losses to the nonprofit arts sector, CincyJams is a way everyone can come together in an enjoyable way to support the region’s arts.
