By popular demand, The Preston & Steve Side Stage returned to the MMRBQ. Right after Vixan 77 wrapped on the main stage, we kicked off the side stage with SideArm anchoring the first round of Side Stage Karaoke singers.

Christine sang Journey, "Separate Ways" then Sammy did Toadies, "Possum Kingdom". After that, it was Chris with Stevie Wonder. "Superstition", Victoria and The Cranberries, "Zombie" and Alister rounding out the set with Bon Jovi, "Livin on a Prayer".
