ALTON - More than 600 people showed up at the Alton Amphitheater Saturday to hear some "local sound, downtown."
Alton Marketplace played host to the second annual Big Gig Music Show, with seven bands representing all genres of music, including acoustic pop, rock, funk, new wave, punk rock to alternative rock, blues, pop, indie and country.
"(The Big Gig) is great for exposure," said musician Aaron Kellim of Audri & Aaron. "It's a good chance to get our music out to our friends, family and those listening to our music."
Kellim said this year's Big Gig event was Audri and Aaron's first appearance.
The other half of the duo is Audri Lucasey, 19, of Alton.
"We'll definitely be back (next year)," Kellim said.
