MÖTLEY CRÜE's TOMMY LEE Helps Choose Best Corporate Band In America

October 8, 2009

Kevin Walters of The Tennessean reports: A band founded by employees of Franklin-based Healthways is now officially America's No. 1 corporate rock band — and they can thank MÖTLEY CRÜE's Tommy Lee for helping them win the honor.

The band STRAT5 was picked by Lee and other judges last weekend during a ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, as part of Fortune magazine's ninth annual Battle of the Corporate Bands competition.

Formed in 1995, the seven-member band took the top spot on its second trip to the finals, facing seven other corporate bands from throughout the country.

After a weekend of soaking up rock 'n' roll, band members Emy Stewart, 34, and drummer Victor Mattingly, 46, were back at their day jobs. Each won individual awards as part of the competition.
