The second annual Rogers Rhythmic Rumble is set for Saturday night in Eriksdale.

The Battle of the Bands style event is also a fundraiser for the RogerKimLee music festival, and organizer Derrick McCandless says the winner will get a prestigious performance spot during the festival later this year.

"We thought what a great way of checking out a band by having some kind of a contest, and then we could offer that band a prestigious spot at the festival."

Four bands are currently lined up to perform in the competition, but McCandless says there is still time for more musical acts to sign up.

"Anything from a singer/songwriter to a poet to any kind of genre.  Kind of an anything goes except for karaoke acts."

The winner will also receive a $500 cash prize. 

Doors at the Eriksdale Rec Centre will open at 6:30 on Saturday night with the competition beginning at 7.

Admission is by donation.
