 Congratulations
to Avenge Vegas, the 2004 Open Mic Madness winners! All
of the performers did incredibly, and it was tough eliminating over
140 acts down to one, but in the end, it came down to
singer/songwriter Ryan McDougall and the aforementioned winning
band, both who did wonderfully. Kudos to the crazy yet amazing
ringmaster of it all, Josh Rifkind, along with all the judges and
people who came out to support the local music scene. Check back soon
for our recap! www.avengevegas.com
