If you’ve got a song to sing, but no band to back you up, this is your chance to develop your material and perform live with a great group of young musicians. Selected artist will also receive individual vocal coaching on their song and a professional studio recording.
Fill out this online Singer/Songwriter Contest Application by April 20, 2016. You will need to give us a link to a video of you performing your song, or upload an audio file.
Sam Herring, lead singer and songwriter from the synth-pop band, Future Islands, will be judging the entries and picking a winner.
Winners will rehearse with the band on Saturday mornings and perform in at least one event in May or June.
