Bottoms Up - Our dynamic 5-piece band recreates all of your favorite songs
from the 1970’s to today. With 5 excellent vocalists and great musicianship,
Bottoms Up has a stage presentation that will bring any crowd to it’s feet.  
From KC and the Sunshine Band to AC/DC, Bottoms Up performs your
favorite party songs exactly as you remember them with the excitement and
flare that only a live band can generate. This is not a disc jockey playing
recordings of your favorite songs, but real players bringing great songs to life
with an energetic presentation. There’s nothing better when you need good
music.
grrRoPoLis - Comprised of some of West Michigan's most experienced
underground musicians grrRoPoLis produces inventive, cutting edge rock
and roll.   They started as an indie reggae cover band and morphed into an
experimental garage blues band.   The band has played throughout the
country.   In 2008 the members toured nationally with The Breeders.  The
Grand Rapids Press described them as “Reinventing rock and roll, the
unpredictable nature of grrRoPoLis' indie-rock is at once endearing and
jarring, in a good way.”
Four For Smoking - Rock Music with a Twist of Nerd.  FFS is four-piece rock
band from Grand Rapids Michigan who has been together less than a year. In
that short time the band has built a respectable following. The music has
been described as hypnotic “schizophrenic acoustic pop rock with faux metal
moments,” very pleasant, indie pop-ish, quirky, catchy, sad, beautiful,
awesome, suicide inducing, that damn song, and absolute garbage. its also
good on sandwiches. All music is written, performed, and produced by four for
smoking."
$250 cash prize to the men's
overall winner and the women's
overall winner.

Prizes for top two runners in
each of the 13 men's and
women's age groups.

A special prize for the men's
and women's winner of the
stroller division.
