All bands appearing on the tour will perform with an all Peavey backline including: 6505+ Head, 6534 Head, Tour 700 Bass Head, and Peavey guitar and bass Cabinets. The artists will also have the chance to be profiled on Peavey.com.
Selected bands perform in exclusive artist showcases and receive a critique by a panel of industry experts including a promoter, a producer, and a touring musician. Groups who receive high marks advance to the finals where online voting will decide the 2011 Project Independent Featured Artist.
The winning band will receive over $10,000 in prizes to jump-start their career, including gear from Peavey, a headlining spot on the 2011 Tour, cash, music distribution, CD duplication, and tour merchandise.
