Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, community, and hope at New Hope’s Battle of the Bands: Band Together for Hope on March 28, 2026, at The Shed Smokehouse & Juke Joint in Maryville, TN.
Five local bands featuring rising artists ages twenty-five and under will face off live in a high-energy competition, judged by celebrity judges and cheered on by our community. Admission is free for guests, so come enjoy the music, support local talent, and be part of something meaningful.
Are you a young local band or know one? Be on the lookout for band applications opening soon, and help us spread the word. We would love to see a strong pool of talented applicants take the stage.
The winning band will take home the grand prize: a professionally produced music video by Big Slate Media, helping launch the next chapter of their musical journey.
This event supports New Hope Children’s Advocacy Center, which provides critical services to children in Blount County who have experienced abuse. In 2024 alone, New Hope served 677 children, and the need continues to grow. Every dollar raised helps restore hope and healing for children and families in our community.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase onsite at The Shed Smokehouse & Juke Joint. Together, let's band together for hope. We cannot wait to see you there.
