520 Etc.: So you think you've got skills?
Every Tuesday night at 7pm, between now and Dec 13th, the World Grotto on Market Square will be hosting a real-live talent search. The event has actually been going on for a few weeks, already, but now participants are setting their sights on the semi-finals and the grand finale.
To win this contest is no small feat, either. Performers will be singing and strumming their hearts out for a chance at a $5,000 recording contract from C&C Recording and Duplicating. There most certainly will be eyes scratched out, hair pulled and shins kicked on the way to the cutthroat finals!
All the judges are musical veterans in the Knoxville and Nashville entertainment industry. They have been listening with critical ears and will determine who best deserves the big ol' grand prize come December. So far, contestants of all types - piano players, fiddlers, vocalists, singer/songwriters - have all been represented. According to Susie Dew, owner of the World Grotto, the search is open to all ages and all genres of music.
Anyone interested in participating should pick up an entry form at the World Grotto, the Preservation Pub or at C&C Recording and Duplicating. All contestants must include a $25 entry fee with their registration.
