Solid Sound Festival Announces Live Band Karaoke With Wilco

Article Contributed by Higher Ground | Published on Wednesday, May 29, 2019

Wilco is putting the call out. They're seeking adventurous and talented fans to sing with the band on stage at this year's Solid Sound Festival (June 28-30 at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA). 5-10 lucky fans will win the opportunity to have the live band karaoke experience of their dreams. 

"Ever wish karaoke bars had more Wilco? Do they have any? I don’t really know. But I do know that they don’t have enough songs about existential dread and self-loathing. Sound fun? Please join us onstage so we can get Solid Sound 2019 started with some outsourced belters from the Wilco songbook. Let’s do this!" - Jeff Tweedy

To enter, fans must share a video of them performing the song they'd like to sing at Solid Sound on Instagram or YouTube with the hashtag #WilcoKaraoke. Winners will be contacted on June10th, and will win two 3-day passes to Solid Sound, a one-song performance onstage with Wilco as their backing band, a meet-and-greet and rehearsal with the band, and an official Solid Sound artist gift bag. This will take place on the Friday night of the festival. Friday single-day tickets are now sold out, but limited Sunday tickets still remain. They can be purchased at solidsoundfestival.com
