Announcing the 10th Annual Phoenix Rock Lottery
Saturday, February 3, 2024 at Crescent Ballroom
Phoenix's Premier Musicians Unite for a One-of-a-Kind Musical Experience at the 2024
25 musicians will start the day… 5 bands will end it!
PHOENIX, AZ – December 19, 2023 – A decade of incredible unique performances, unexpected collaborations, and a lot of fun. The Phoenix Rock Lottery returns for its 10th anniversary on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024. Twenty-five of Phoenix's most talented musicians will come together on the morning of February 3rd to embark on a difficult challenge: form five new bands, having been randomly curated by drawing names from a hat, each will write three original songs, learn one cover song, and deliver a live performance—all within a single day. The performances will take place at the renowned Crescent Ballroom in Downtown Phoenix that same evening. The lineup promises to be as jam-packed with Phoenix music talent as ever; stay tuned for the full lineup announcement coming soon. The event is dedicated to supporting a worthy cause, with proceeds contributing to Rosie's House—a local non-profit organization providing music education, instruments, and free instruction to underserved youth in the greater Phoenix area. The night not only celebrates the immense talent of Phoenix musicians but also positively impacts the community.
About The Phoenix Rock Lottery:
The 2024 Phoenix Rock Lottery promises an unparalleled experience, showcasing the diverse talents of musicians drawn from various backgrounds and musical genres. The element of unpredictability is at the heart of this annual event, where participants arrive on the morning of the Rock Lottery with no knowledge of who their bandmates will be, the musical style they'll delve into, or the songs they'll end up performing. It's a true testament to spontaneity, creativity, and collaboration.
The past 9 Phoenix Rock Lotteries have featured diverse lineups of some of the best musicians in Phoenix. Lineups have included members of Jimmy Eat World, Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra, Breakup Shoes, Playboy Manbaby, AJJ, Sydney Sprague, Upshal, and many more.
The Phoenix Rock Lottery has received plenty of praise over the years. The first Phoenix Rock Lottery, held at Crescent Ballroom on February 9, 2014, was named "Best Club Show in Phoenix 2014" in the Phoenix New Times "Best Of Phoenix" issue. They described the event as "yielding goods that had Phoenix feeling pretty damn great about its music scene." The 2015 solo 7" series by Jimmy Eat World's Jim Adkins included the song "Love Don't Wait," originally written during that first lottery. In 2016, the band Wet Lab, formed in the 2nd Phoenix Rock Lottery, released formal recordings of two of the songs they wrote together on cassette via the new local label Saint Joseph. The single was prominently marketed nationally as part of that year's Cassette Store Day.
