Every week at Power Chord Academy, one professional touring band/artist will perform a concert and hang out afterwards for a question and answer session. The special performance will be closed to the general public and open to attending Power Chord Academy musicians only. On the application is a section to vote for the special guest appearance. Vote for any band or artist you like! Please understand there is no guarantee that any artist or band affiliated with our program will be at the Session(s) you attend. That is why we call it the Mystery Guest!
