Want to Win a Trip to See Rush in LA and $5K? Just Cover a Rush Song
Ole–properly spelled “ole” for some reason–bought up Rush’s publishing catalogue last year for tens of millions of dollars. They’re now running a cover song contest with Indaba Music to find the best Rush cover version. The winner will get $5,000 cash and two tickets to see the band play in Los Angeles on August 1. There’s also a meet-and-greet with the band and a limited edition Fender Squire Rush bass. Plus the winning cover will have a lyric video made for YouTube.
There’s a second prize, too: $3,000 cash and some Rush swag. Third prize is a grand plus Rush merch.
But before you head off to perfect your version of “La Villa Strangiato,” know that you must choose from this list of ten songs.
- Working Man
- Fly By Night
- Closer to the Heart
- The Spirit of Radio
- Freewill
- Limelight
- Tom Sawyer
- Red Barchetta
- New World Man
- Time Stand Still
Sorry, no “2112,” “Xanadu” or “The Trees.” And for gawd’s sake, don’t even think of “In the Mood.”
