The trilogy of jams you can enjoy while perusing this page come from three of our Battle of the Bands entrants.  The first is from Scoville Blues, a new entry to this year's IBC Battle, performing the T-Bone Shuffle at the Scottish Rite Theater in Collingswood, NJ.  The second is the Porkroll Project's Evil Woman Blues from this year's Riverfront Blues Festival.  And lastly, also from the Riverfront Festival, is South Saturn Delta with April belting out an excellent rendition of If you had a Dollar.  They battled in their alter-ego iteration as April Mae & the June Bugs.
     I think you'll agree that the competition this year was be HOT and HEAVY!  So, please look at the pics and check out the VIDEOS of each of this year's entrants!
