Battle of the Streets; March 3 at 6 p.m.
Local bands will tune up for a noteworthy annual skirmish, the Battle of the Streets, on March 3 at 6 p.m. in the new USF Performing Arts Center at the former Scottish Rite Center in downtown Fort Wayne.
The USF Music Technology Department will host the competition in association with radio station WILD 96.3 in the center at 431 W. Berry St. Battle of the Streets is a live, local music battle in which artists from the greater Fort Wayne area pit their music talents against each other until only one remains standing. Music genres will include urban dance, rhythm and blues, hip-hop and rap. Record label executives from across the country will judge the musicians, and the winner(s) will receive cash and prizes and a chance to perform before a national producer for a chance to live their dreams.
Admission is $5. Solo or group artists can sign up for the battle for a half-price fee of $50 by calling the radio station to register at (260) 747-1511 by Feb. 27. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Call the radio station for additional information.
