Введение
Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands – ежегодный музыкальный конкурс для любительских групп, спонсируемых компаниями в США, Европе и Австралии. Созданный в 2001 году, доходы от конкурса направляются в Зал славы рок-н-ролла в Кливленде, штат Огайо, который также является местом проведения финального раунда соревнований. Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands проводится в партнерстве с журналом Fortune и Залом славы, а спонсорами выступают NAMM Foundation, Gibson Guitars, Marshall Fridge и Fender Premium Audio. Конкурс часто называют «праздником музыкантов, имеющих основную работу».
