You have likely heard by now that The Josh Merritt Band were crowned the champions of the The Battle for the Big O on Saturday night at Diamond Lake's Good Time Theatre.  And they were INCREDIBLE!!  But a trio of teenagers gave the group (and everyone else) a huge run for their money.  They told the crowd they actually had to Google "old country" to find some songs that may be appropriate for this year's Liquid Ninja Big O Music Fest.  And, by their performance of Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight", I think they may have found just the right one.  WATCH!

Jaclyn took the stage at Saturday's finale of The Battle for the Big O to perform an original song by Jamie Smith.  We met Jamie, a songwriter from Meade County, Kentucky, during our open audition circuit.  We LOVED his music and invited him to come to the finale as a special guest.  See, until Saturday night, Jamie had never had one of his original songs performed by someone else.  So, we cut Jaclyn loose on his song "What Is Time?" and she absolutely slayed it.  THIS is beautiful.  Watch!
