Shiner Rising Star, KHYI accepting Shiner Rising Star applications
The Will Callers, 2010 Shiner Rising Star
Story and pix by Mary Jane Farmer
KHYI began accepting applications for the 2011 Shiner Rising Star Wednesday and will continue to do so through July 15. The top qualifying bands will then compete for grand prizes for 13 consecutive weeks on Thursday nights — important for bands scheduling — starting July 28.
You can go to their Web site to pull the application and further instructions on what all is involved, but just a short word, most of the songs played during the competition will need to be originals, with a requirement for a few covers.
Last year’s winners, “The Will Callers” (pix here) played Thursday night at Hank’s in McKinney, and here’s a few pictures of that amazing band. Most of the bands in this competition are amazing, and so it is a tough call each week for judges to determine who will continue from one round into the next, and then into the final one.
