Great BBQ. Rock Music. Family
Fun.
Detroit (June 13, 2011): Townsquare Live Entertainment and 104.3
WOMC - Detroit's Greatest Hits station have teamed up to
bring the debut of Michigan Rocks BBQ Nationals to Heritage Park in
Taylor, MI on Saturday, July 23.
BBQ Teams from Michigan and the surrounding area will go
head-to-head in a contest to determine the regional Grand Champion.
The competition will be fierce as the Pit Masters and their teams
vie for cash, trophies and prizes in four categories: chicken,
pork, brisket and ribs, as well as best all around. Festival
attendees will have the opportunity to sample tasty BBQ recipes
from the various teams.
The musical portion of the festival includes some serious rock
tribute bands playing the hits of the Beatles (BritBeat), Aerosmith
(Toys in the Attic), Led Zeppelin (Led-Hed), plus local favorite,
Fifty Amp Fuse and a soon to be announced Jimmy Buffett tribute
band.
Tickets, set at the family friendly price of just $10 (plus
applicable service charges), can be purchased in advance at www.detroitbbq.eventbrite.com.
All tickets purchased in advance will include $4 worth of food and
drink tickets. Children twelve and under get in free when
accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets are also available
on the day of the event at the box office.
There's something for everyone at Michigan Rocks BBQ Nationals
as people of all ages can enjoy everything from a Beer Garden (21
and over) to a Kids Zone, all while sampling world class BBQ
food.
"We are interested in giving folks a unique experience by
combining delicious BBQ with great music and fun for the whole
family," according to Brian Rucker, Managing Director of Townsquare
Live. "The teams are very serious about their cooking and the
result is the best BBQ the region has to offer."
Arlie Bragg, America's premier BBQ Promoter and head competition
coordinator for the event brings 20 plus years of BBQ competition
experience to the table. "Great BBQ, great entertainment, and
professional-level production gives the BBQ Nationals a fresh
look at an old tradition." Arlie says. I look forward to
making this series become THE premier BBQ competition series in
America."
