Show of the Day: OC Music Awards Showcase No. 5

​The OC Music Awards Showcase Series continues today at all-ages venue Chain Reaction in Anaheim for a third Best Live Band category performances. 

Local faves Moostache, Halos (featured in current issue of the Weekly), the Colourist (recently added to Bamboozle roster), the Bolts and BLOK are all scheduled to play. The event starts at 7 p.m. and should finish around 11 p.m. Like all OC Music Awards Showcases, it's free!

Notes OCMA organizers:

Red Bull is providing recording sessions at Red Bull Studios for both Best Live Band and Best Live Acoustic Showcase Series winners. Each band will have the chance to spend four days recording at the exclusive studios compliments of Red Bull North America Inc. This incredible opportunity paired with a $2,500 voucher from Fender® will provide two talented Orange County bands with the tools and support to further their music careers that much more.

The Awards countdown continues with weekly showcases culminating at the Best Live Acoustic Finals Feb. 26 at Yost Theater in Santa Ana and the Best Live Band Finals at Samueli Theater/Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa Feb. 27, where the finalists from both categories perform and the winners are announced on stage at the end of each night. The OC Music Awards take place March 6 at the Grove of Anaheim.
