Auditions for early 2012 Episodes Recordings of YourJax Music
Since the launch of YourJax Music, we have known that everything we
do will be trial and error. The show will always continue to
evolve and we will continue to change and adjust the way we do
things. This is also true for the selection process when it
comes to picking music artists to schedule and feature on the
show.
The open mic at Latitude 30 helped but did not always go as planned. The Open Mic is no longer going to be a part of YourJax Music Night. I thank everyone who came out to be a part of it, but it didn't quite seem to catch on. As for using it to find new talent, that was also hit or miss as we did not always have decision makers on hand to listen to every band and provide feedback on a regular basis. Also, to be fair, in many cases the artist may not have been given ample time to perform and really represent themselves.
Soooo, now we have an open calendar starting in Feb and we're ready to book the open dates for recording. We are partnering with George's music and 6 different venues to hold live auditions. This time everyone gets 30 minutes to perform and there will be judges on hand, paying attention, and filling out score cards. Bands will be graded on musicianship, style, and originality. We have room to audition at least 24 local music artists and will be selecting at least 12 to schedule for YourJax Music recordings. 4 of the music artists will also get featured exclusively in their own episode and get to Host that episode themselves! We will also approach 3 bands to perform in the upcoming YourJax Music Fest at the Jacksonville Fair in November. There may also be some bonus stuff added later to give away.
George's music will be providing the backline equipment and running sound. At least 50% of your set must be original. Any genre is welcome. Space is limited so to enter visit either George's Music location with a demo CD, DVD, or VHS and fill out an entry form. Not every entry is guaranteed a slot so don't waste too much time in getting your entry in if you are interested.
