Yes, you read that headline right. Here is your chance to win not simply a pair of tickets, but four, count 'em, FOUR tickets to Rothbury. That's a $1,000 prize you're looking at! Not too shabby.MLive is running this contest in conjunction with The Sam Roberts Band, who will be playing Rothbury this year. All you have to do to enter is go to our contest page and sign up to receive future announcements on concerts CD releases and anything else from the Sam Roberts Band. By doing so you are automatically entered for a chance to win 4 tickets to Rothbury.
So there's the catch; your contact info goes to the Sam Roberts Band. And to me that's not a bad catch at all.
I was not familiar with Same Roberts before this contest started, but after giving them a listen on MySpace and checking out some performances on YouTube I am definitely looking forward to catching them at Rothbury. And they're from Montreal, which instantly earns them extra indie cred for being from Canada!
Here's the video for a song Roberts wrote about Detroit called "Detroit 67," which features many well known Detroit landmarks, despite most of them being abandoned:
The contest runs until June 25th at 11:59 p.m. Shortly after, one entrant will be picked at random to win the tickets. Go enter now, and good luck.
