Eight bands have earned the right to move into Shiner Rising Star’s Round Two, and four of those will continue into Round 3, AKA, the finals, which will be November 1 at Love & War in Texas, Plano. The finalist will receive a recording contract with Shiner Records, guitars from Kona Guitars, and several other career-enhancing prizes.

judges each night. The judges are given score sheets with 10 criteria to tally up their scores. At the end of the sets, the judges will orally critique the bands, and that could include both positive and negative feedback, but the negative, if any, is geared to help the bands be the best they can be, should they move into the final, and/or in their future careers.

The bands’ songs must be originals, except for one cover song.
