Uniting CNY behind one band

Playing at SXSW is a big opportunity for any band and Merit is in the running for a shot at playing the festival & conference this year. I'll be making my first trip to Austin and I'd love to be there to support Merit playing a show. I think all of Central New York would love to see one of their hometown bands play on a stage like this. I know a lot of people from outside CNY would like to see this happen as well.

Over the next 5 weeks (until February 20) Merit will be in the running for a showcase spot at the ReverbNation event held Friday, March 16 on 6th Street at the Dirty Dog Bar. You can make this happen and for your efforts Aux Records will even give you a download of their CD for free. All you need to do is sign up to be a friend of the band at www.reverbnation.com/merit - it's that simple. You need an email address and a picture to upload for your profile, that's it.

Sign up.

Add your pic.

Download the album, plus Man On A String, Merit's single from their debut disk.

Then tell your friends to do the same.

Merit was featured on ReverbNation during December 2006. Now it's time to prove that they should be featured live at SXSW. They'll be making a 1,700 mile, 26 hour drive if they win this...all for a shot at playing music for 45 minutes. Let's make this happen.

This banner takes you to ReverbNation so you can sign up. Thanks!
