Subject: Call for Entries!!!

Come one, come all - it's the KRCL Performing Songwriter Showcase. Previous finalists have called it "a slice of heaven", "a total blast", and "the best songwriting contest around." We're welcoming entries from solo singer-songwriters (sorry, no duos, trios, etc) performing original music.

Send your entry, postmarked by April 30, along with a $15 check made out to IAMA (or the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association) and a CD or rewound cassette with two songs showcasing your solo sound, to KRCL Showcase, PO Box 2187, Salt Lake City, UT 84110-2187. Please be sure your contact info (including email) is on the CD or cassette itself.

Finalists will be selected in a blind judging by a panel of judges, with scoring based on vocal ability, instrumental ability, and songwriting.

There will be ten finalists selected, all of whom will perform on the main stage at this year's newly-expanded Founder's Title Folk & Bluegrass Festival (growing from one day to three!) on Saturday, August 2, 2003 in the midst of the beautiful Salt Lake Valley.

Please note that these performances will be solo performances, and instruments will be limited to what you can carry on stage; no piano will be provided. All finalists will also be given free admission to the festival and a free camping pass. And this year's winner will be invited back for a paid main stage slot next year. (There'll be
prizes, too; not to worry!)

Please pass the word along to anyone who might be interested. And for more details, check out FOUNDERSFEST.ORG.

Don't delay - come enjoy song circles, great live performances from folk and bluegrass greats, and a chance to strut your stuff in front of an enthusiastic audience on the main stage of the Founder's Title Folk & Bluegrass Festival!
