Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Vendetta, The Charlemagne Pursuit, The Venetian Betrayal and many more is back as keynote and key presenter

Over the course of the past three weekends a fierce battle has been taking place Downtown to see which of our area bands will be crowned the Last Band Standing in WAPE’s battle for musical supremacy. Each Saturday groups of all genres from all over the First Coast have performed at the Jacksonville Landing to try and secure a spot in the finals on August 1st. The public has voted and the finalists are as follows:
Round One: ANEW, Infinity
Round Two: Hands High, New Career
Round Three: Dancell, Hayfire
All of the bands should be congratulated for their phenomenal performances, but these nine won over the crowd and are still in the running for the big prizes: the winning act will be the first to perform at WAPE’s Birthday Bash at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, headline the Florida/Georgia game celebration at the Landing and have a free professional recording session. Come out to the Landing on August 1st and cheer on your favorite finalist. We’ll see you there!
