Radio Station KHYI and Shiner Beer/ Shiner Records announced early Friday morning the following schedule for Round 2 of the 2010 competition.

Story and pictures by Mary Jane Farmer

Round Two actually started with Thursday night’s Wildcard Week, at the Kessler Theater in Oak Cliff. (Sept. 16) Invited back to try again because their scores in Round 1 were so incredibly close to their winning competitor swere Two Door Ford and the Keller Hicks Band. Friday morning, we found out that Two Door Ford took that contest.

KHYI General Manager Joshua Jones hosted the night and announced that the winning band would not be competing in Round Two, but would be advancing as the fifth competitor in the final round. Congratulations, Zack and all of Two Door Ford, and believe me when I say this honestly… Keller Hicks was amazing, as well. Keep an eye out on those guys, they are going to be musical movers and shakers!
