Local vocals in contention to win largest battle of bands

Local band Aspen Hourglass is in contention to win Hard Rock Rising, the world’s largest battle of the bands.

Fans can vote for Aspen Hourglass on the Hard Rock Cafe Denver Facebook page, www.facebook.com/hardrock?sk=app_205164529573076, until May 7 to help the local vocals move into the top 25, and one step closer to performing in Rome. Voters also can hear Aspen Hourglass perform on Saturday on the Hard Rock Cafe Denver’s patio at the Denver Pavilions along the 16th Street Mall.

After battling it out with several of the area’s top bands at Hard Rock Cafe Denver, Aspen Hourglass is among the top winners from around the world, and is one step closer to winning the chance of a lifetime – an all-expenses paid trip to Rome, Italy, to perform at the first Hard Rock Live Rome music festival this summer. Second and third prize winners will each receive new music equipment and gear valued at $10,000.
