Are YOU the 419’s Next Top Talent? 419 Sings Raises Money for A Cause, Awards $2500 and Recording Session
Hosted by the United Way of Hancock County, First National Bank and the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts in Findlay, Ohio, independent artists, 18 years or older from “the 419,” are being called to compete in the 2021 “419 Sings” music competition.
Musicians, bands and singers are all welcome to compete. The winner takes home $2,500 and professional recording session at the Stone Soup Recording Studios in Maumee, Ohio, to help take their careers to the next level.
Although the official competition is a series of virtual performances over the course of 5 weeks, the winner of the competition will also perform on stage at the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts.
“This is a big beautiful space, a professional sound system. You know a lot of the bands we expect and the musicians that we expect to send in a video have done bars and outside events, but not a performance where people are seated and specifically listening to you in a great space,” said Heather Clow, MCPA executive director.
To enter, artists should fill out this form. Artists must also post a short video of them performing their music on 419 Sings’ Official Facebook Page shortly after.
