More than 350 people braved a chilly day to attend Marklund’s Music Fest which took place Sunday, Aug. 29, at Marklund’s Mill Creek Campus, 1 South 450 Wyatt Drive, Geneva. The weather didn’t dampen enthusiasm, however, and everyone cheered for the bands competing in Battle of the Bands.
The winner of the Under age 18 ...category is Stonegate Drive from Yorkville. In the Age 18 and Over category, the winner is Memphis 4 Now from Batavia. The bands won separate 15-hour recording sessions at a professional studio – Waysound Recording of Fox River Grove.
“There is no doubt that we were in the presence of some great music potential at the battle of the bands,” said Justin Le Breck, CEO of Waysound Recording. “This potential came in varying degrees from each performer in the form of originality, skill, and stage presence. Essentially the ones who emanate the best of these qualities are the ones that go the furthest in the music industry. We feel that recording at our studio is a fantastic way to harness and utilize that potential for so many possibilities.”
Marklund thanks all six participating bands as well as Justin Le Breck. Thanks also to Hix Brothers Music of Aurora and Batavia who generously provided gifts to the 2nd and 3rd place bands.
“We enjoy helping people who pursue music and work as hard as we do,” Le Breack said. “We are very happy to provide Marklund with these attractive grand prizes to both of their winning bands,” said Le Breck, “and we hope to continue supporting passionate musicians and events such as this in the future.”
