Waverly, N.Y. based Friends with Benny’s will compete at the Battle of the Bands competition at the Tioga County Fair on Friday, Aug. 4 starting at 6 p.m. Fan-based votes will determine the winner of a $1,000 prize.<\/p><\/div>\n

Grab your lawn chairs or get your grandstand seats early for a new event at the Tioga County Fair, Battle of the Bands, which goes live on Friday, Aug. 4 starting at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Four bands are slated to play various genres of music, including classic rock, hard rock, blues and funk, metal and groove metal, and maybe even a little country, and will compete to win a $1,000 grand prize at the end of the evening. Bands previously submitted demos to enter the contest.<\/p>\n

A unique aspect of the battle, no panel of judges will select the winner at the event. Instead, fan-based judging with votes from spectators will determine the winner. <\/p>\n

Event organizer, Bill Carrigg, who has been a part of Tioga County Fair planning for several years, explained that Battle of the Bands was developed by the Fair Board as a way to excite the community to come back to the fair, along with putting a spotlight on talented musicians from our area.<\/p>\n

Fair-goers will receive five tickets upon entry to the grandstands with a $5 grandstand admission fee, with each ticket good for one vote. <\/p>\n

Endicott, N.Y. based Rare Breed will compete at the Battle of the Bands competition at the Tioga County Fair on Friday, Aug. 4 starting at 6 p.m. Fan-based votes will determine the winner of a $1,000 prize.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bands competing include Rare Breed and DramaScream, both based out of Endicott; Waverly\u2019s own Friends with Benny\u2019s; and traveling up from Scranton is the band Threatpoint. <\/p>\n

Rare Breed<\/i>, a four-member band, takes their musical influences from all corners of the map, which includes mixing classic hits and current chart toppers with high-energy original tunes.  <\/p>\n

DramaScream<\/i>, a female fronted, five-member hard rock band, plays explosive, heart-pounding and head-banging selections that grab music lovers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n

From funk to folk, rock to reggae, along with blues, soul, hip hop, oldies and jazz, the trio Friends with Benny\u2019s<\/i> will offer original selections and cover tunes that cross over into every music genre.<\/p>\n

A thrash\/groove metal band, Threatpoint, a four-member band, plays remnants of classic rock, power metal, hard rock and thrash metal, and pulls influences from the rock and metal spectrum.<\/p>\n

Carrigg commented, \u201cWe\u2019ve received an out-pouring of support from other individuals and communities outside of Tioga County, so people in Tioga County are encouraged to come out and support this event at the Fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Calling

Scranton, Pa. based Threatpoint will compete at the Battle of the Bands competition at the Tioga County Fair on Friday, Aug. 4 starting at 6 p.m. Fan-based votes will determine the winner of a $1,000 prize.<\/p><\/div>\n

For the Battle of the Bands competition, Carrigg explained that 2017 is a first-time, trial run, and based on fan response and attendance, the board will consider doubling the amount of bands competing at next year\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n
