Voting has now officially ended in our Can't Buy Me Talent Contest, but don't worry! You can still get your British Invasion fix at our Ultimate 60s Karaoke Tribute at Penny Lane Pub!

The Fab Four took the American Music scene by storm fifty years ago, so we asked you, RVA, to channel your inner rockstar and submit some of your original music!  All types of music was welcomed, but music inspired by the 1960s was defintely encouraged. You can still check out some of our original submissions here!

Come out to Penny Lane Pub
Now it's time to celebrate! On Thursday, March 13th selected contestants will be asked to perform their original music for our judges at Penny Lane Pub. They will be competing for some fabulous prizes and bragging rights of course! After their live performance is when the real fun begins at our "Ultimate 60s Karaoke Tribute!" The stage will open up to our audience to sing their favorite songs from the era! It all kicks off at 8 p.m. This is an ages event.

Multiple prizes will be awarded. In addition to our "Fan Favorite" additional awards will be awarded from our panelist of judges that include the “jolly good performance,” “grooviest lyrics” and the “best rockstar look-a-like." Special shoutout to Plan9 Music and Penny Lane Pub for providing all the prizes!
