Sonicbids And Live Nation Team Up To Bring Emerging Music To House Of Blues Stages

Boston, MA (Top40 Charts/ Sonicbids) Sonicbids, the leading matchmaking site for bands and music promoters, and Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading live entertainment and eCommerce company, today announced a partnership to bring new emerging music to House of Blues. The program - New Music Nights at House of Blues, Powered by Sonicbids - will launch in Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas to start, with plans to rollout nationwide.

"Our mission is to create a stage for emerging artists everywhere - from the world's biggest festivals, to House of Blues, to local coffee shops," said Panos Panay, Sonicbids Founder and CEO. "Partnering with Live Nation, the world's largest concert promoter, to create opportunities for emerging bands to play their local House of Blues and to deliver fans in these markets great new music was a no brainer for us. We're very excited to launch this program and watch it grow."

Bands in Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas can apply to play New Music Nights at House of Blues for free on Sonicbids here. As one of Sonicbids featured Token Gig Listings, members can apply using a Token. Bands new to Sonicbids can also apply using a Token, which is part of the Sonicbids Supersonic one-month trial membership they'll get when they apply.

To extend the reach of the program, Sonicbids and Live Nation have also partnered with local bloggers and tastemakers in the Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas markets to have them select the three bands that will play their market's House of Blues.

In addition to playing House of Blues, these bands will be featured on a Sonicbids and Live Nation fan-voting microsite where a band's fans can "pledge" to go see their favorite band. The band with the most pledges across all three markets will tour and play House of Blues in Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas.
