It’s Back!! The most fun night of the year – the Lip Sync Battle to benefit Talbot Interfaith Shelter – returns on April 13th at 7:00 pm at the Waterfowl (Old Armory) Building in Easton. Teams from all over the community will perform their hearts out to earn votes (in the form of donations to TIS) in hopes of becoming the 2019 Lip Sync Champions! Adding to the fun are co-hosts Jayme D and Jay Hudson from Eastern Shore Brewing, who will be joined this year by DJ Matt Spence from WCEI. This family-friendly show is presented by On Your Mark Lighting, Eat Sprout, and Wells Fargo Advisors Easton.
This year’s contestants, who range in age from their single-digits to their 60’s, are The Happy Hour Honies, Team Eastern Shore Brewing, Team Scout, Team Gabby, The Country School Faculty, The AKAs, Team BAAM, Team Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, Team Coastal Retreat, and The Chapple Family. They are ready to rock out and create an unforgettably fun evening! This year, TIS has also added an online-only competition, which currently features Team TIS and the Aerial Angels from The Studio in St. Michaels. The winner of the online competition will be announced at the end of the live show. Interested participants for both the live show and online competition should contact Jayme at [email protected] or 443-786-4676
There are many ways to choose the winner of this epically fun event:
Buy a ticket to the show. Online ticket purchasers will be prompted to vote for their team of choice when they make their ticket purchase. Undecided voters and people buying tickets at the door can use their ticket as a ballot to vote for their favorite lip syncers. The purchase price or the ticket will be counted towards their fundraising total. As a bonus, just by purchasing a $27 ticket, attendees will also be providing a “win” for a man, woman or child in need in our community by covering the cost of shelter and services for one day!
Come early and come hungry and thirsty! Doors open at 6:15 for dinner provided by Catering by Jamie and Hill’s Soda Fountain. There will also be beer and wine provided by Hair O’ The Dog, and plenty of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages available. Every dollar spent on food and drinks will count as a vote for your team of choice.
Make an online donation. Those unable to attend the show, or who just want to help push their contestant over the edge, can vote by making an online donation to TIS.
Buy tickets, meet the contestants, and vote at talbotinterfaithshelter.org.
Talbot Interfaith Shelter is a 501(c)3 organization based in Easton and serving Talbot County and the surrounding areas. The organization has developed a program that they call S4 (Shelter, Stability, Support, Success), which is designed to give guests access to a stable homelike environment, services, and tools that can help them break the cycle of poverty and homelessness and regain their independence. Once guests are accepted into Easton’s Promise, they receive case management as they move through an individualized plan, eventually transitioning into one of the shelter’s eight subsidized off-site apartments, where they incrementally take over expenses until they are fully self-sufficient.
