After seven consecutive Tuesday night showcases–all of which were free, fun and full of quality local bands–the OC Music Awards have announced the five finalists in both Best Live Acoustic and Best Live Band Showcase categories.
The 10 bands perform at the Showcase Finals where the category winners will be announced at the end of each night. The winner of each category will perform at the Awards on March 6 at Grove of Anaheim, receive a $2,500 voucher from Fender, and a four-day recording session at Red Bull Studios. After the jump: the Showcase and Awards schedule.
