FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (Tuesday, March 17) – KLRN’s award-winning digital series, City Showdown, has returned for a third season. The thirteen contestants taking part in this year’s contest are featured on KLRN's YouTube channel and Instagram.
City Showdown is a friendly battle of the bands that celebrates San Antonio’s vibrant music scene and encourages civic awareness. Last season, District 6’s INOHA won a decisive victory with their song, “Saturday Nights,” and this year’s winner is anyone’s guess.

Viewers can award points to their favorites by ranking the entries at www.klrn.org/cityshowdown. A community jury will also weigh in.
