PROGRAM FOR THE EWOB FESTIVAL & TRADE SHOW 2009:
You can click the bands' names and photos to visit their websites and learn more about them.
For workshop details, please go to Festival Info>
ong>Workshops.
Please note that the EWOB 2009 info will be replaced with the new program for the EWOB Festival 2010 as soon as all the bands have confirmed their showcase dates and times. Until then, we like to leave last year's program up so that you can get an idea of what a day at an EWOB Festival is like. The program for EWOB 2010 should be posted around mid-February, 2010.
