Country Vocalists - Spaces Still Available in the Texaco Country Showdown!
October 14, at The Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Ky.
This is the last Kentucky Showdown before State finals.
E-mail Evan Spencer at evan.wmok@frontier.com for more information or call 618-524-9209.
The Showdown is open to vocal and/or instrumental performers, individuals, or groups of up to seven members who have not performed on a record listed in the national record charts of Billboard, Radio and Records, or The Gavin Report within eighteen months preceding local competition.
There is a $20.00 entry fee per act and all contestants must begin their competition by performing at showdowns produced by participating country music radio stations. A uniform judging system on all levels of competition ensures fairness. Despite a rather humble beginning, the Country Showdown has become a reliable source of rising country music stars over its 30-year history.
Over the years, stars such as Garth Brooks, Sara Evans & Brad Paisley have competed in the Country Showdown. At the 1983 National Final, Martina McBride & Neal McCoy competed against one another, only to lose to The Jim Arnold Band. In 1985, Sweethearts Of The Rodeo won the National Final before becoming one of country music's hottest duos.
So, do what many of today's country superstars have done and "Follow the Road" to the National Final where YOU could win $100,000 and the National Title.
