Arizona Bike Week 2023 welcomes six teen bands from Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers competition Proof is in the Pudding tomorrow.
The young musicians will be on stage from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 2 at WestWorld in the Arizona Bike Week PowerYard, located in Scottsdale at 16601 N. Pima Road. There will also be a presentation of a donation to Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock from Arizona Bike Week in the afternoon.
Every fall Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers hosts a competition called Proof is in the Pudding where teen musicians can enter as a band or solo artist. The competition features over 300 musicians ages 12 to 25 from all genres and it is the most well-known music competition in Arizona. The winning soloist and winning band get to open for Alice Cooper at his annual Christmas Pudding Show.
Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers is a non-profit organization founded by international rock star Alice Cooper and his wife, Sheryl, with a primary mission of making an everlasting difference on the lives of teens in the community by offering a safe and engaging environment during non-school hours. The centers offer free music, art and dance lessons, as well as vocational programs and fellowships that help teens discover their passion through self-expression and creativity. Anyone between the ages of 12 and 20 can get involved in the centers.
Arizona Bike Week has attended the Proof is in the Pudding finals each year since 2014 and selects bands from the competition and provides them the opportunity to play at AZ Bike Week.
“Alice and Sheryl Cooper’s commitment to helping young people develop their creativity and talent is truly inspiring. We try to support the centers in any way we can,” said Lisa Cyr of Arizona Bike Week.
