If the idea of four days worth of 40+ musical showcases, 1 ECMA Awards gala, and a pile of interesting panel chats excites you, we’d love to give you and a sidekick a pair of free wristbands so you can go take it all in.
All you need to do to enter is drop the name of a classic song below. We’re still building the music bed for Overcast Radio, and the one category coming up a little shy on selection is our CLASSIC SONGS folder. So just share the name of a classic song you love — whether it’s a classic classic (Like Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold”) or a modern classic (like Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up”). Comment below by noon on the 9th and your name goes in the hat.If you’d like to tune into Overcast Radio while pondering your suggested classic song, here’s the link: http://overcast.streamon.fm
