2010 Country Rock Battle of the Bands Winner!

It is official! LUKYN SKYWYRD is the Milwaukee's 2010 Country Rock Battle of the Bands Winner!! Last weekend at Kelly's Bleachers in Wind Lake, WI, Lukyn Skywyrd took home the title and beat three other bands hands down. This was a fan-based voting event and the competition was fierce. Southern Impact, another fine Southern rock band, came in second, Folkswagen, an original folk/country act, was in third, and Twang, a solid country group, finished last. All bands are incredibly strong and contain great and talented people.

By winning this contest, Lukyn Skywyrd has won a spot on the M&I Classic Rock Stage at Summerfest on Sunday, June 27th. Just two days before the finals, the band was informed that it would not be included in this years Summerfest lineup. Pulling out all stops, the band rallied fans, friends, and family alike and brought the numbers to get a solid win.

In addition, the band won a spot in Oshkosh at Country USA on Thursday, June 24th. This will be the band's first appearance at Country USA. Also, the band has won studio recording time at Trax52 and a cash prize from Cream City Music.
