CONGRATULATIONS TO TEXACO COUNTRY SHOWDOWN 2011
WINNERS
Congratulations to our Texaco Country Showndown winner
Jet Set.
The group Jet Set, made up of 14 year old
(center) Tori Little of Moores Hill, (right) 13 year old
Avery Eliason of Lawrenceburg and 14 year old Sadie
Loveland impressed the judges with their two original
songs and stage presence. They've been performing
together for about a year, but were excited for their
big win.
Our first runner up was 15 year old DJ Adkins of
Aurora.
Jet Set will go on to represent WRBI and compete in August at the
Indiana State Fair.
The
Country Showdown (sponsored by Texaco-) is the Nation's
largest and longest running country music talent search. Each year, more
than 50,000 artists compete in local competitions throughout the U.S.
All participants are consistently judged on five core criteria:
Marketability in Country Music, Vocal/Instrumental Ability, Originality
of Performance, Stage Presence/Charisma and Talent. Optional bonus
points can be awarded to acts with original music in the Songwriting
category. Past local, state and regional winners include Brad Paisley,
Garth Brooks, Martina McBride, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sara Evans and Miranda
Lambert.
