A Denton classic since 1997, Rock Lottery sees two dozen Denton artists grouped at random into new bands. Those new acts then have 12 hours to write and practice new songs before they take the stage Saturday night for a live performance.
The five new bands will perform a handful of songs, but are only allowed a single cover song. They'll take the stage at Dan's Silverleaf at 9:30 p.m.
Every year (except the 20th anniversary), Rock Lottery features an all-new lineup of local artists trying their hand at the now tried-and-true format.
