BEAVER DAM, Ky. — The finals for the Beaver Dam Amphitheater “Battle of the DAM Bands” will be tonight, May 13.
In early April, Beaver Dam Tourism announced the finalists invited to compete for over $16,000 in prizes at the inaugural event at the Beaver Dam Amphitheater. The event is part of Beaver Dam’s yearlong sesquicentennial celebration.
Nearly 70 bands from Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, and Tennessee entered the fray and the judges whittled those down to the eight finalists that will compete.
The eight bands selected to compete are:
- The Scarecrows, from Hartsville, Tennesee
- Philomuse, from Paducah, Kentucky
- Corduroy Orbison, from Evansville, Indiana
- Skipping Stone, from New Albany, Indiana
- Tripp, from Jonesboro, Arkansas
- Wyld Ryde, from Louisville, Kentucky
- Van Winkle & The Spirits, from Bowling Green, Kentucky
- Indy Annies, from Indianapolis, Indiana
The finalists will perform Saturday, May 13, at Beaver Dam Amp. Gates will open at 5 p.m., and the competition begins at 6 p.m. A panel of impartial judges from the music & entertainment industry will announce the winners immediately following the battle.
