MR BROWN!!! After eight months of music, over 1200 shows and 8000 stage changes, Emergenza announced the winners in front of a crowd of over 25 000 people earlier today. The best ''up and coming band'' in North America and Europe for 2004 is MR BROWN from HAMBURG, playing rock and roll!!!. Their technique, passion and originality impressed the jury, the public and even the other bands, who celebrated with them on the Main stage. The victory party will go on all night and no doubt remain forever etched in the hearts and memories of all those who were fortunate enough to share in it. The 4 guys from Germany are now in anticipation of their first American tour, made possible by Emergenza in collaboratoin with Music Man - Ernie Ball. In the meantime, they enjoy the prizes they are entitled to as the best band (the customized Music Man Axis Super Sport guitar, the customized Music Man Sterling Bass and a full set of Sabian cymbals.) Great job Mr Brown, but also great job all the other musicians and bands: all those who made it here never tired of dedicating themselves and putting forth their best. They put on a heartfelt show, in front of an ever-growing public. This is the same dedication that Emergenza continues to display, each year greater and more ambitious. We are proud to have once again made it to the end of the season - exhausted, satisfied - but above all proud that you shared this experience with us. Till next year!! You can find a list of results and detailed jury votes in the section dedicated for the purpose.
