Les Paul changed music forever. This summer, 3 Sheeps Brewing and the Les Paul Foundation are teaming up to find a Wisconsin band ready to make some noise of its own.

The 3 Sheeps x Les Paul Battle of the Bands is a statewide search for unsigned Wisconsin bands, built around one of the most influential musicians and inventors to ever come out of this state.

Four battles will lead to one championship round at the 3 Sheeps Taproom, where the winning band earns a trip to Los Angeles to record at the iconic Les Paul Recording Studio.

It’s a celebration of Wisconsin beer, Wisconsin music, and a Wisconsin legend whose impact is still ringing through every stage, studio, and guitar amp worth turning up.
