Downtown Sound Round One Winners
These six, plus our two “editor’s picks” (included below) will be split up into two groups of four at random, and assigned to one of the two aforementioned showcase nights. All attendees at both shows will be given one ballot and asked to cast their vote for their favorite act. At the end of each night, the votes will be tallied and the top two winners will advance on to the finals, scheduled for Thursday, October 20 at SOhO.
Congrats to all and see ya’ on the dance floor!
