Ladies & Gentleman!! Actually . . . Kids of All Ages!!
Michigan Idol, has been around the West Side of Bay City, for almost seven years and and at first glance may look like the average karaoke contest. Michigan Idol has spawned the careers the likes of
Steve Armstrong,
Dani Vitany and
Matt Ryan as well as a handful of similar artists. Now organizers are hoping to attract a bit of a younger crowd.
MyBayCity along with Last Choice Country are proud to present, the very first Michigan Idol Youth Edition at VNO Wine Warehouse & New Age Restaurant. The contest kicks off January 21st at 6:30pm. Grand Prize is a 2 hour recording session at Reed Recording Studio in Bay City.
Contestants will be split into two different age categories. 5-12 Years of age and 12-17 years of age.
Owners Greg & Peggy Kimbrue are no strangers to having youth entertainment at their establishment. Kimbrue provided opportunities for kids of all ages to showcase their talent at The Kingfish restaurant until selling the establishment in March of 2013.
"This is a family establishment, we welcome families to come in and dine." said Kimbrue. "There are a ton of talented kids in this area that just don't have a venue to go perform at."
Last Choice Country's very own Josh Sharrow will return as comical Idol Host for the 8 week contest, and the always popular, panel of Judges.
This season's judges include Divalution Founder Deborah St. Hillaire, David Bernreuter and Last Choice Country personality Shawn Doyle. Level 47 Productions will also be providing professional P.A. for Michigan Idol Youth Edition. Photography Boutique & Photo Booth will be providing photo coverage.
Contestants are scored on: Appearance, Stage Presence, Vocal Ability, Crowd Reaction, Song Knowledge and Over All Attitude. Contestants must be present at least 5 of the 8 weeks to qualify.
Sign ups begin at 5:30 on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at VNO Wine Warehouse & New Age Restaurant.
