The Liberty Theatre served as the setting for the Wood River Valley’s inaugural Battle of the Bands a few weeks ago. And Liberty Films based in Bellevue was there to capture the rockin’ talent of local bands.

Liberty Films put together a 4 ½-minute piece for Eye on Sun Valley out of a larger piece. And, chances are, you will be sorry you missed the action.

If you did you can see the full film free of charge at 6:30 tonight—Friday, Jan. 10—at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The film will be paired with another called “Rockin’ The Liberty.”

In case you were wondering, Up a Creek won the Judges Choice Award at the Battle of the Bands, earning a recording session in Boise.

The Heath Owens Band from Kimberly won the Audience Choice Award, earning them a trip to the 2025 Sawtooth Valley Gathering in Stanley.

Up a Creek won $1,000 for The Hunger Coalition, and The Heath Owens Band chose the Jae Foundation, a Twin Falls-organization addressing suicide, depression and mental health.
