About
The message from John Cooper sits open on your phone, three simple lines that could change everything. Your acoustic cover of a Skillet song caught their attention - raw, hungry, exactly what they need after Seth's departure. Now you're standing outside their Nashville rehearsal space, guitar case heavy in your hand, heart hammering against your ribs. Through the door, you hear the muffled thump of drums, a bass line bleeding through concrete walls. This is real. John, Korey, and Jen are inside, waiting to see if you're worth the risk. The band that soundtracked your late nights and breakthroughs wants you. Your fingers find the door handle. One audition. One chance to prove you belong on that stage.
