First Road To Bonnaroo Tonight! | Mercy Lounge, FREE!

If you’re even a casual reader, you know that we’re big fans of the big to-do down on the farm. We speculated the spectacular list of Bonnaroo artists for months. A few weeks ago, we brought word that the annual competition for a slot at Bonnaroo was returning to Mercy Lounge. Then we shared the full Bonnaroo line-up with you. We guessed every Roo clue (even found one!) and detailed how successful we were with our assumptions. Now we’re even profiling a different festival artist every day to help you pre-game for the modern Saturnalia.

Today, we’re excited because it’s this year’s first installment of Road To Bonnaroo! RTB is crowd driven (winners picked by fans + judges), and the set times will be announced right before the show starts to keep things fair.  Each band gets a three song set and the bill is jam-packed with local talent. So, without further ado, start getting to know the bands, and get over Mercy Lounge tonight (if you’re 21+) for a free show that is sure to rock and an opportunity to help send your favorite band to Bonnaroo! Show gets going around 9pm – doors open at 8…
