LP was a sponsor of the CoverBand 2010 amateur musician contest this past year. The winners were flown to the NAMM show and will perform on Saturday night here in Anaheim. I was lucky enough to catch some of the first rehearsal. I will say there was some trepidation. When you put 7 musicians, who have never met before, in one room and tell them to play, anything can happen. What makes this even more challenging is when your only knowledge of their is abilities is from a 2 minute video clip. I was lucky enough to catch some of the first rehearsal and I will say there was some trepidation as to what might happen. After a bit of tuning and noodling around they jumped into their first song, it was a bit clunky as they tried to connect with each other. Then, it happened. The groove was laid down and they started to lock in. Here is a quick clip of some of that rehearsal.
