The winner of the “Rock Out with Randy Bachman Contest” will receive a D’Angelico EX-SS guitar and a Supro 1690T Coronado Amp, as well as a $1,500 travel voucher that can be used to visit New York to perform with Bachman when he plays B.B. King Blues Club on June 23 or June 24.

To enter, fans are asked to download a modified version of the title track to Bachman’s 2015 album, Heavy Blues, with the guitar solos and fills originally played by Peter Frampton stripped off of the track, then shoot a video playing their own solos and riffs along with the tune. Contestants then must upload their videos to YouTube, where Randy will watch the clips and personally choose a winner. Entries must be submitted by May 27, and a winner will be announced on June 3.
