Just a quick reminder to everyone that the Omaha Girls Rock Camp comes to an end today, culminating with a showcase tomorrow night (Saturday, July 16) at The Slowdown. These girls have been working all week to learn instruments, write their own songs and prepare for the show. Please stop by and support all of their hard work.

The showcase will feature one original song from each of the six bands at this year's rock camp, Cherrybombs, The Jellybeans, I Just Don't Like Trees, Mischief Managed, Urban Scrunchies, and Pandas Of Peace, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Honeybee & Hers, Jessica Errett, Arrica Rose, and Tara Vaughan will play following the showcase.

All proceeds will benefit the 2012 Omaha Girls Rock Camp. See photos from the week below.

Omaha Girls Rock’s mission is to give girls the confidence to use their voice through music education and performance. Our female mentors act as a support system encouraging self expression and self respect. Through workshops and one-on-one instruction we cultivate the DIY values that form the core of the independent music experience- confidence,self reliance and original thinking- and encourage our students to apply these values in all aspects of their lives.
