Background[]

The band Beach Avenue formed in the Summer of 2011 to perform at Mohegan Sun's annual regional Battle of the Bands. After passing through quarter finals and semi finals, Beach Avenue took 1st place in the finals to win the competition. As a result, the band earned a headlining spot at the casino's Wolf Den venue to kick off 2012.

Soon enough, the band entered Firehouse 12 Studio in New Haven, CT to record their debut EP "Something To Believe In". After a busy year of promoting their album and performing throughout Connecticut, Beach Avenue released their newest EP "Driving That Road" in Summer of 2013. The band has opened for artists such as: Third Eye Blind, Jefferson Starship, STYX, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Adams, Bad Rabbits, Jeffrey Gaines, Bronze Radio Return, Alternate Routes and many more. 1

Beach Avenue's audition in Episode 906 consisted of performing an original song titled "Coming Your Way." Howard Stern, Heidi KlumMel B, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending the group to Judgment Week.








Judgment Week[]

Beach Avenue was sorted into the "Music Groups" category in Judgment Week. The group's performance in Episode 908 consisted of performing an original song titled "Feel the Beat."

Coincidentally, the runner-up of that season, Clark Beckham, also originally competed in the ninth season of America's Got Talent. He received four "Yes" votes, but wasn't present during Judgment Week.
