MUSIC FEST

Marklund is proud to offer the community an opportunity to say "I heard them before they made it big!" about six local bands.

Our Second Annual "Battle of the Bands" Music Fest will award two Grand Prize Champions with 15 hours of studio time at JPL Records in Cary, IL.  Additionally, all participating bands will win prizes courtesy of Hix Brothers Music of Aurora & Batavia, IL.

Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to set up camp on Marklund's Mill Creek lawn and enjoy a Sunday afternoon of high caliber talent.

Human Discourse

James Drive
A straightforward rock band, James Drive performs some covers but is by no means a cover band. With three decades difference in age, members are Darwin Rybandt, Nick Gross, Ryan Rybandt, and Tim Tracz. They’ve been together since the summer of 2006. Influenced by Godsmack, Floyd and Big Headtodd, they like to put their own spin on things. They say they’re “a generation gap for the ears.”
