The BIG SHOW

Self-described as "part rock 'n' roll circus, part game show, part city-wide art project," the Lottery League is now in its fifth season. This year's incarnation kicked off earlier this year with a Showcase Fundraiser/Pre-Draft Party and the Draft. The Big Show, the season-ending day-long free festival showcasing the first live musical performances for all of the 2019 season's newly formed bands, will take place today at 11:30 a.m. at the Hamilton Collaborative warehouse. The event will feature more than 150 active musicians from Northeast Ohio. They've been randomly drafted into about 30 all-new four piece bands. No participant was placed into a group with anyone with whom they had previously collaborated. Admission is free. (Niesel)
