The evening kicked off with Medium Rock, whose renditions of Iron Maiden and their original track, “Danger’s Shadow”, set a formidable standard. Bar of Soap and WD- 40 shifted the vibe with taut, compelling performances of Michael Jackson and Good Kid, respectively. Form VI band The Sirens soon made their mark with a blistering debut of their original track, “Plastic”. The B Sharps took the audience on a jazz-infused journey with Thundercat’s “Them Changes”, while The Bricks delivered a nostalgic nod with their take on the 1980’s anthem “Sweet Dreams”. Y Not reignited the raw power of rock with a cover of “Highway to Hell”, and the Four Cellos paid homage to another power rock song: Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer”.
