The Mississippi Valley Fair Battle of the Bands 2023
The Battle of the Bands is back at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds and this year is bigger with a full day of different music.
The three winners of the battle will once again be able to play at the Mississippi Valley Fair opening for one of the grandstand acts in August.
Who Won The First Two Battle of the Bands?
This is year 3 of the Battle of the Bands. In the first year, there would be only one winner. And it would be Alborn that would take the crown and be able to open for Shinedown.
Last year the MVF and MH Entertainment would split the battle into country and rock. It would be an all-Muscatine victory with Monica Austin taking the title in the world of country and Eugue Levy winning the rock battle.
