For the second year in a row, representatives from labels and other music affiliated companies have assembled bands to compete in the “CRS Battle of the Bands” contest, which will be held Sept. 26, 2013 at 3rd & Lindsley. This year’s bands are comprised of employees from Hard Rock Café, Renaissance Hotel, Sony Music Nashville, SunTrust Sports & Entertainment and Warner Music Group.
Warner Music Group and Sony Music Nashville will return for the second year to battle it out. Bands representing Renaissance Hotel, SunTrust Sports & Entertainment and Hard Rock Café will be making their debut appearances.
“Last year’s event was such a success and we can not wait to relive the fun once again,” said CRS Executive Director Bill Mayne. “To add a little twist to the event, we expanded the lineup to include participants from other companies within the industry and not just labels.”
Proceeds from the event will go toward the CRS scholarship fund and the Country Radio Hall of Fame. The “CRS Battle of the Bands” is a private, industry-only event. Last year’s “Battle of the Bands” was sold out and raised enough funds to enable the organization to create a new endowment, which will be announced soon. Band names and musicians will also be announced in the coming days.
There are a limited number of tables still available. Please contact the CRS office at 327-4487 or email michelle@countryradioseminar.com or bradford@countryradioseminar.com for more information.
