Michigan Idol Castaways Winner Joe Gibson & Judges

Rolling Michigan Idol Show To Stop at VNO's

August 2, 2014
By: Josh Sharrow


Michigan Idol was born at The Stables in Bay City, Michigan. Since then the show has had successful stops at The Willew Lounge & Castaways. Michigan Idol host said it's time to move the show to a new location, and VNO's New Age Restaurant, on Midland Street, is the place!

Contestants will have the opportunity to win a Grand prize of $500 cash. Greg Kimbrue, owner of VNO's, says he is excited for the competition. "I've watched this contest for a while now, and we're excited to have it here at VNO's!" Michigan Idol Host Josh Sharrow said he thinks the location is perfect. "VNO's is a great place with great energy. The location is good, and it's nice to breathe some new life to the street."

The Vno facility features a large wine and beer retail area with over 500 types of wine from all around the world . . . and of course, from the state of Michigan.

"You really have to see our pricing on wine," Kimbrue explained. Kimbrue says his wine pricing meets and mostly beats all of the big chain stores and that special orders are gladly accepted.

"I think we have the Tri-cities most unique dining, drinking and shopping experience," Kimbrue explained . . . with over 5,600 square feet of space spread out in an open urban, yet historic style and decorum.

Last Choice Country's very own Josh Sharrow will return as your comical Idol Host for the 8 week contest, and the always popular, panel of Judges. This season's judges include 2014 Michigan Idol winner Joe Gibson, David Bernreuter and Last Choice Country personality Shawn Doyle.

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 up and warm-ups are held from 8:00pm to 9:00pm. Competition starts at 9:00pm sharp. Michigan Idol is brought to you by Last Choice Country, MyBayCity.com, Level 47 Productions & VNO's New Age Restaurant. VNO's is located at 512 E. Midland Street. in Bay City
