Serious Betty Presents Night Fight Showcase

December 30 @7PM in the Drake Underground

Serious Betty presents Night Fight Showcase, a musical battle that brings together four teams who will compete round-for-round in a show unlike any other. Serious Betty will pair up four sets of artists from wildly different genres who have never performed together, each team prepared for a head-to-head battle.

In a round-robin style, audience members and industry judges will vote on which team brings the hottest hooks and baddest beats, crowning one team as the Night Fight Showcase champion. Plus we’ve got top underground DJs spinning to be crowned right off the top of the night!
