Bell’s followed that on Saturday with the WIDR Battle of the Bands, with alt-rock/punk band Nothing New winning the grand prize in a show that also featured Celtic music ensemble Blarney Castle and dream pop group PARTS.
Saturday night also boasted Alexander Lynch, Humons, Kid Runner and Rebel Kuzco firing up The Pyramid Scheme, and the Public Access supergroup performing a late-night set at Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids. Check out all the photo galleries here.
