Bands have the opportunity to showcase their talent in upcoming battles of the bands in Vermont. The Jam 4 SlamT1D battle supports the fight against type 1 diabetes, offering the winning band two days of recording and airtime on various radio stations. High school bands can also compete at the Do Good Fest, with the chance to perform alongside big headliners and win prizes for their school’s music department. The application deadlines for both events are approaching, so interested bands should submit their entries soon. In addition, photographer Luke Awtry recently captured live music highlights in Burlington, featuring Kevin Lynam and Matthew Kloss at Paradiso Hi-Fi. The duo’s vinyl selections and back-and-forth DJ set provided a unique and enjoyable experience for attendees. Overall, these events and performances offer exciting opportunities for bands and music enthusiasts in Vermont to engage with and support the local music scene.
