Cover Contest Finalists Compete in Jimmy Fallon’s Battle of the Instant Bands
Choose the Cover contest finalists Lelia Broussard and the Sheepdogs faced off in a special edition of Battle of the Instant Bands on last night’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In this version of the segment, which usually involves two bands comprised of musically inclined audience members who have never met, Broussard and the ‘Dogs were challenged to come up with an all-new song about Terry Patterson, a member of the studio audience. After meeting with Terry for a few minutes before the show, both bands crafted brief, charming tunes that they performed live on the air.
