Captain Hirams 2nd Annual Battle of the Bands Highlights and Winner Announcement
On November 20th, Captain Hirams hosted its 2nd Annual Battle of the Bands, and it was an incredible night filled with talent, energy, and nonstop music. With four outstanding bands competing, the crowd was treated to a true showcase of what the local and regional music scene has to offer.
After a night packed with unforgettable performances, we are excited to announce that Pavani took home the title as this year’s champion.
Meet the Winners: Pavani
Felipe Pavani and his band delivered a powerhouse performance that set them apart in a very tight competition. Pavani’s musical journey began in the Manhattan subway system where Felipe secured an official permit from the City of New York to perform for tourists from across the globe. Their high-energy pop and rock covers quickly earned them a reputation as one of New York City’s most recognized cover bands.
Now based in Florida, Pavani is expanding its presence in the live music world and bringing its signature sound to stages throughout the state.
Their bio says it best:
Hailing from the subways of New York City, Pavani has traveled the country looking for the perfect spot to share their talent and landed in central Florida to bring you the best renditions of the songs you know and love from the 70s to today.
This Year’s Competitors
A huge shoutout to all the talented bands who made this event unforgettable:
• Fast Times
• American Highway
• Jesse and The Thieves (last year’s winner)
Each band brought something special to the stage and helped make this event one of the best nights of live music we have ever hosted.
Looking Ahead
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the musicians and enjoy a night of incredible performances. Congratulations again to Pavani, the winners of the 2025 Battle of the Bands. We cannot wait to have them back on stage soon.
