2nd Place - Deeper Well
"Americana" is the catchall term for a repertoire not limited by any particular genre. Deeper Well fills from the watershed of Blues, Country, Rock and Folk, and pours out both acoustic and electric grooves on covers of the greatest singer-songwriters, as well as original compositions.

3rd Place - Chasin' Betty
We play southern rock. We are all locals from Doctors to a sheriff, to a chef, to the Anthony's Pizza maker. ​
