Casting Call for Local
Michigan Talent The Mountain Country & Rock Music Festivals are staging a Battle of the Bands for local artists seeking to open for noted national acts this summer. An interactive site has been added to the main festival websites for bands seeking to make contact.
Both festivals are looking for local
Michigan bands to open for the likes of Sawyer Brown, Leann
Rimes, REO Speedwagon and Def Leppard.
The competition is set up to allow a large number of bands from the entire state to win spots through the festival's website.
By submitting MP3's to the festival
website, fans and enthusiasts can then vote to determine spots for
top five bands in country and rock.
The top five bands in each division are
then given the opportunity to compete live at a Battle of the
Bands Finals Competition in Grand Rapids and Detroit.
Three winners from each competition
will get the opportunity to perform live at the festivals on the
largest outdoor stage in Michigan. Other competitors will be
performing at various side stages, tents and locations at the
festival, with one band receiving a live sound recording with
SoundCrafters and Big Bear Studios of Midland. Judges
will be made up of representatives from radio stations and sponsors.
Bands can access the site and upload music through the main festival website at www.mtcountryfests.com or www.mtrockfests.com.
Deadline for all bands material must
be uploaded by no later than May 20th.
Public voting begins May 21st.
If bands have questions, they are
encouraged to phone Holly McClusky at the Mountain Rock &
Country Festival, 1-800-515-1780.
