The 2016 Battle for The Big O is underway here at WBKR and we're finding some amazing tristate talent and beyond. Case in point, Weston Vernon, who came in from Bowling Green, Kentucky to audition for us at Sara Michaels Restaurant in Central City.  He won the night with his awesome original song that everyone in the audience loved.

You can catch Weston at The Battle for The Big O finale event, Saturday, July 23rd at Diamond Lake's Good Time Theatre.  There, he and our other finalists will compete for $1000 and the right to open for Billy Currington, 38 Special, Mark Chesnutt and more at the 2016 Big O Music Festival.

In the meantime, we have just open more audition date left: Thursday, July 7th at Beaver Dam Amphitheatre.  For official rules and details, CLICK HERE!

The Battle for The Big O is presented by Henderson Chevrolet Buick GMC!
