If your perfect Saturday sounds like roaring guitars, rumbling engines, and a whole lot of heart, mark your calendar for Saturday, May 16th. Richmond Harley-Davidson is hosting Battle of the Bands with a Twist from noon to 6 — and this isn’t your average band showdown.

Here’s where it gets wild: local musicians won’t arrive as bands… they’ll become bands on the spot. Artists will draw numbers from a bucket to form five brand-new groups, then collaborate to pick four songs and perform them live. It’s part musical chairs, part rock-and-roll lightning strike ⚡ and all kinds of fun to watch. Trophies go to first, second, and third place, so the friendly competition will be cranked to eleven.

And the best part? It’s all for an incredible cause. This event is raising awareness and support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Admission is just a five-dollar donation, with additional contributions welcomed and deeply appreciated. So, every riff, every drum fill, every face-melting solo helps kids who truly need it. ❤️

Bring your friends, bring your lawn chairs, bring your love of live music and community spirit, and spend the afternoon surrounded by bikes, bands, and big hearts at Richmond Harley-Davidson on Harley Club Drive in Ashland.

Battle of the Bands with a Twist — May 16th, noon to six. Sponsored by Richard Davis and Amplify the Vibes.
