First Ever Eau Claire Side Project

The Side Project is an experiment in arts and community. On the surface it is a music festival completely made up of side project band. On a deeper level it will be an opportunity for people to gather together and experience the arts on all levels. The bands will be created two months prior to the show with the goal of playing one killer show. In between bands the audience can experience poets, actors an open mic and other performers. Artisans of all types will have booths set up for display or show. Attenders will be able to walk through the art gallery or enjoy some food from the bake sale or grill. Needless to say what started as a simple concert has grown into something amazingly different. Keep checking back regularly to see what is new with The Side Project.
