And the winners are …

Andrea Davidson and Olivia Henken are the choices from LEO Weekly’s “Hey Bands! Be Heard!” contest for Hullabalou. Davidson, a regular barfly performer, has changed that up (for the better) with her new album Retracing Steps. Country singer Henken, onetime model for Alix Adams, picked up a mic to sing at a Kentucky State Fair karaoke contest when she was 7 and hasn’t put it down since. Congrats to the winners. Hullabalou takes place July 23-25 at Churchill Downs. More info at www.hullabaloufest.com.
