The 3rd Annual Battle at Rock Creek battle of the bands competition returns to Rock Creek Park in Lewisburg starting in September and leading up to the Goats, Music and More Festival on Oct. 7, 8 and 9, 2011.

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, Ashley McBryde of Nashville, taking home the grand prize. This year, twelve more bands will compete for the Battle at Rock Creek title beginning with three bands on September 3 at Rock Creek Park in Lewisburg. The next three bands hit the stage on Sept. 10 followed by three more bands on Sept. 17 and the final three taking the stage on Sept. 24. 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.
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 Thursday, Oct. 6 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. 7 for headliner and country music superstar Lorrie Morgan.

The winner of the Battle at Rock Creek will be announced following Lorrie Morgan’s performance and will win $2,000. The Battle at Rock Creek Runner-up band takes home $500.

The Battle at Rock Creek proved a fan favorite the last two years 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 September 3, September 10, September 17 and September 24 to vote for your favorite as the Battle at Rock Creek winner.
