April 15th not just for tax day anymore... ;)Mama Shi says...
LISTEN UP!
I mean this damn it...
A top secret “iconic brand” wants to find the best unsigned country rock, americana, alt. country and southern rock artists in the US for a major promotion they’re launching later this year. I smell a talent search! Well, they came to us to help get to the right artists cause they know that we know how to reach the right people!
I’m typically not a fan of these sorts of things BUT we agreed to help spread the word because I KNOW that some artist that WE KNOW deserves to ride this wave to the top and it’s really cool as shit! This is a great promotion on a lot of levels and since we know the best artists in the country, I know that someone we know will benefit GREATLY by taking 10 mins. To enter.
Seriously, JUST DO IT! THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS TUESDAY, APRIL 15th !
There are some rules...
Everyone in your band must be 21+ years of age and live in the United States.
You can’t be signed to a major label...or any big indie that’s funded or distributed by one of the 4 majors (sm indie labels are ok)
You must write and own your own material – meaning no 3rd party publishing deals (Admin deals are ok)
One last thing...you should be ok with being associated with either a spirit/tobacco/wireless or automotive company – if not then don’t enter.
The artist entry form/rules can be found here:

I can’t answer any questions other than what’s on the website but I will tell you that if I were in an unsigned band or I managed your unsigned band that I would submit! If you’re chosen as a finalist and you’re not into it then you don’t have to go any further. On the other hand... you can’t get to that place if you don’t actually enter. I’m asking you to trust me on this one. Pass this on to anyone you think would be interested!
