GRAND BLANC, Mich. – Tournament officials announced today that two Michigan based bands, 3RD°Burns and Tripp ‘N’ Dixie, will open the 2019 Ally Challenge Community Concert for Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley.

The second annual Ally Challenge Community Concert is Saturday, September 14, 2019, on the driving range at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club following the second round of competition at The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren.

3RD°Burns is part of the Young Musicians Community (YMC), a 501c3 non-profit organization that gives young people the opportunity to experience God’s gift of music. The program, now entering its 15^th year, teaches youth ages 10 to 18 the art of playing an instrument, singing techniques, and stage performance in a classic rock band setting. Over 500 young musicians have participated in YMC since 2004, and today, 3rd° Burns bands include more than 60 members and perform nearly every weekend from June to September all over the state of Michigan. The 3rd° Burns program focuses on mentoring and ‘giving back’ to their community and performing the best classic rock anywhere.

Detroit based, American rock band Tripp ‘n’ Dixie formed in the summer of 2008 with vocalist Rozz Rosales, guitarist Adam Cross, and Scotty King on drums as the heartbeat of the original lineup. Adding guitarist Mike Gonchoroff, bassist Brian Richter, and Conner Williams on keyboards has created a wall of sound that blends old-school classic, and modern rock, into an explosion of sound inspired by the many influences of the members.Showcasing soulful vocals, fierce dueling guitars, eclectic keyboards, alongside a thunderous drum and bass section, Tripp ‘n’ Dixie begets an irresistible delight in your body and makes you want to get off your feet and groove. Fueled by countless live performances, the guys can play a wide assortment of original music and classic cover songs that get your heart pumping. Imagine Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, Rival Sons, and The Parlor Mob all mixed into one tasty Rock n’ Roll stew for your enjoyment.
