How many places can you enjoy both chili and the music of local reality television contestants?
Luckily you can enjoy the music of former “X Factor” contestants The Brewer Boys and Michael Austin, former contestant on “The Voice” and singer of Austin Law, at the Chili Cook-Off, Beer and Wine Festival at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Inland radio station 101.3 The Mix is putting on the event.
If the kitchen is your performance area rather than the stage, you can enter the chili competition. There are four categories for the International Chili Society-sanctioned event: red chili, chili verde, salsa and People’s Choice. You can register at www.1013TheMix.com.
The event runs from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and some of the proceeds will benefit the Ramona Bowl. Advance tickets are $15 for general admission and $8 for guests ages 6 to 12. Kids 5 and younger get in for free. The passes go up to $20 at the door. You can get them online at the Ramona Bowl website.
The Brewer Boys have incredible harmonies and rootsy Americana sensibilities. Here’s a recent video of the Temecula brothers performing a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer.”
Austin Law puts on more than a mere concert–it’s an experience. Here’s lead singer Michael Austin on “The Voice.”
