The 2nd Annual Battle at Rock Creek battle of the bands competition returns to Rock Creek Park in Lewisburg starting in August and leading up to the Goats, Music and More Festival on Oct. 8, 9 and 10, 2010.
Last year, twelve bands from across the region competed for the chance to play as an opening act at the Goats, Music and More Festival with the winner, Tyterope, of Chapel Hill, taking home the grand prize. This year, twelve more bands will compete for the Battle at Rock Creek title beginning with three bands on August 28 at Rock Creek Park in Lewisburg. The next three bands hit the stage on Sept. 4 followed by three more bands on Sept. 18 and the final three taking the stage on Sept. 25. All Battle at Rock Creek shows are free admission so just bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the music beginning at each night at 7 p.m. except for the Sept. 4 show.
On Sept. 4, a special Battle at Rock Creek Show will be held as Buddy Jewell will headline the event to help raise money for the Caney Springs Volunteer Fire Department.
Buddy Jewell burst onto the country music scene in 2003 when he won the coveted title of USA Network’s first ever Nashville Star. A true crowd favorite from the premiere episode to the finale, TV audiences and critics alike fell in love with Buddy Jewell’s gentility, enthusiasm and true musical passion.
Buddy’s self-titled debut album on Columbia Records was certified gold, and garnered two back-to-back top five hits with “Sweet Southern Comfort” and “Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey’s Song.)” Buddy Jewell debuted at 1 on the Top Country Album charts, and was recognized by the ACM, CMA and CMT Awards with multiple nominations.
At the time of this writing, Buddy’s current single “Somebody Who Would Die For You” is number 2 on the Power Source Christian Country Chart as well as enjoying its second week at the top position on Chart Country in April 2010. “Somebody Who Would Die For You” is available through several on line retailers including iTunes.
The Battle at Rock Creek will begin at 5 p.m. on Sept. 4 followed by Buddy Jewell in a benefit concert for the Caney Springs Volunteer Fire Department who will be raising money to assist in its formation.
There is still a few band slots left for any bands who would like the chance to compete. One band winner from each night of competition will advance to the Oct. 7 show at Rock Creek Park for the semifinals. The two band winners from that night will open the Goats, Music and More Festival show on Friday, Oct. 9 for headliner Johnny Lee. Lee and the Urban Cowboy Band are best known for the smash hit song, “Lookin’ for Love,” the theme for the movie, “Urban Cowboy.”
The winner of the Battle at Rock Creek will be announced following Johnny Lee’s performance and will win $2,000 with the Runner-up band taking home $500.
The Battle at Rock Creek proved a fan favorite last year providing music in the park on a Saturday night for folks from Marshall and surrounding counties. If you didn’t catch the talent last year, come out on August 28, September 4, September 18 or September 25 to vote for your favorite as the Battle at Rock Creek winner.
