Attention Rockers: Battle of the Bands

Attention rockers! Battle of the Bands Deadline is March 16th 2010.

Battle of the Bands sign ups are still open! Check here for more info:  http://www.agapefest.com/bands/battle-of-the-bands/.

The winner of the AgapeFest Battle of the Bands will continue on to Word Label Groups National Talent Search. (This could get you closer to that record deal you’ve been wanting). Out of the bands that submit 10 will get the chance to perform on the campus of Greenville College and the top 5 from that batch will play at AgapeFest. Then the top 3 get to play again on Saturday.

It’s a pretty good opportunity if you ask me! Only 12 bands have signed up so far. So sign up! Your chances are good!

It was a lot of fun!

Check Out Our Speakers!

Mark Goins & Ben Woods

This year AgapeFest is fortunate to land two of the best speakers in the area to come speak. On Friday night everyone will get to hear from Mark David Goins. Mark is best known as the front man for the band Mark David and Surface Deep. His band will be kicking off the festival on Friday night. Then on Saturday we are extremely happy to bring back Ben Woods. A lot of you know Ben for his work in the band Slingshot57. Ben spoke on our second stage last year, and we knew we had to bring him back to speak on the main stage! Both are phenomenal speakers, and they are definitely worth listening to. For more info about each of our speakers keep on reading.
