About Ava Rowland

I am 16 years old and have played the guitar since I was 7 years old. I have been singing since I could talk. I started in my very first band at age 8. I really wanted an all girl rock band and so my guitar instructor helped me put one together. I am the singer and rhythm guitarist. We’re Been There Done That, or BTDT for short. We’re a 5-piece, all-girl band located in the Quad Cities that writes and plays our own music as well as covers from bands from 1970's to today. Winner of the 2016 and 2019 QC Rock Academy Battle of the Bands and Iowa Rocks Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2018 winning band and best vocals. We released our first EP recorded at Catamount Recording Studio in October 2019. Outside of the band, I am a member of my High School show choir, concert choir, and chamber choir. In the spring and summer I play on my High School softball team. Some of my accolades include: Opus Honor choir 2017 and 2018, Choir All-State inductee 2019, 2017 Best Female Vocalist (show choir), 2018 Iowa Rocks! Talent Contest - best vocalist and most recently the co-winner of the "Are You the Voice of the Quad Cities."
