Calling All
Blues Bands:
This year's TBS Talent Search will take place at
Nathan Phillips Square on August 14th from 12-2pm. The Toronto Blues
Society invites Canadian blues acts who have not made a nationally
distributed or major label recording to enter the Toronto Blues Society
Talent Search.
Now in its thirteenth year, this event has proved a
launching pad for outstanding emerging talent - previous winners include
JUNO and Maple Blues Award nominee the Rockin' Highliners, New Artist of
the Year nominees Jake and the Blue Midnights, and Canadian Aboriginal
Music Awards winners, the Ronnie Douglas Blues Band, CBC/Galaxie Rising
Star David Rotundo, and Maple Blues Award nominees Wickens-Knight.
For the 2008 edition, a screening panel will choose six
acts, each of whom will perform one live showcase set in the finals. The
winning act will receive a professional development package including a
performance at the Southside Shuffle in September, a showcase at the Blues
Summit in January 2009, and studio time at Euphonic Sound in Toronto. More
prizes to be announced soon!
To enter send a cassette or CD with three songs
(material must have been recorded within the past two years.) Make sure
the recording is clearly labeled, and include a bio (200 words max), photo
and contact information, including mailing address and phone number.
Enclose entry fee of $15 (cheques payable to the Toronto Blues Society.
Please don’t send cash), and mail to: Toronto Blues Society Talent Search,
910 Queen St. W., Suite B04, Toronto, ON M6J 1G6.
Deadline: Friday, July 11th, 5pm
