The 2006 Six Points Music Festival Line Up

We are pleased to announce the line-up for the 2006 Six Points Music Festival, showcasing 40+ bands at 13 D.C. area venues, Thursday, April 6th through Saturday, April 8th. The selection committee would like to thank the nearly 200 acts who applied for this year's festival. Every submission was listened to by the selection committee and we appreciate all of you taking the time to apply.

In determining the festival line-up, the selection committee rated each of the 194 submissions, on a scale of 0-5, in the areas of Songwriting/Lyrical Content; Vocal, Instrumental and Overall Performance; Originality; and Visceral Reaction. The average of the committee's votes for each performer was calculated and they were ranked accordingly. The committee then selected the highest ranking performers based on the number of slots available, taking into account the stage specs and musical genres that would be most appropriate for each festival venue.

This year's selection committee for the festival was chaired by Heather Huff and Adam Simkin (Entertainment DC), and included Jenni Chase (Capital Scene), Amber-Therese Foster (DC101 Local Lix), Amanda Mattos (Music: DCist.com), Joel Didriksen(Kingpin Photo/NPR's All Songs Considered), Eric Boucher (Bigyawn.net ) and Richard Brewer ( Independent Promotions Consultant &10 year Music Industry Veteran).
