Band submissions are open until Friday! Sign up today!http://goo.gl/forms/4O1sLLhDRa

Six more days left to submit your brand new band for FTTC! 

Now we’re back at PhilaMOCA for First Time’s the Charm 2016: Friday June 3rd and Saturday the 4th. By actively including women, queer-identified folks, trans* people, people of color, and musicians playing a new instrument or in a band for the first time, First Time’s the Charm encourages inclusion and diversity in the music community. In addition to the two nights of bands, there will be a series of workshops leading up to the event to break down the boundaries between "musician” and “non-musician” and help demystify songwriting and band formation for newcomers. We can’t wait to hear and see the fresh faces and sounds that this year’s shows will premiere! Proceeds from FTTC 2016 will go to Girls Rock Philly, a volunteer-based music and mentoring organization dedicated to empowering girls, women, and trans* folks from the greater Philadelphia region through music education and activities that foster leadership skills, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. To find out more details about FTTC, check out the FAQ. Follow fttc2016.tumblr.com to keep up-to-date and be the first to submit your band when registration opens on February 25th!

We have a few shows coming up, but most of all we hope you'll come see us at First Time's The Charm at PhilaMoCA on Saturday, November 9.
