Hundreds of musical acts entered. Just over 60 were selected. They competed for the title in each of New York City’s boroughs, made it through two rounds of voting. And now, just five bands – and one Wild Card pick – are standing in the 2013 Battle of the Boroughs talent quest.
Before they return to The Greene Space stage on Friday, June 21, catch up with all the contestants as they take you behind the music.
