Kerrville New Folk entry deadline extended.
All these photog pros will be at the Grassy Hill New Folk contests.
From Dalis Allen, Kerrville Festivals producer
If you think you have missed entering, you have not. We are leaving the date to submit open until March 15. Grassy Hill Kerrville NEW FOLK entries are down this year. I believe some of that reason is due to a platform that we have been using not as available to the artists we are looking for. Typically we would have over 400 on Sonicbids by the end of February and we had 100. We are now up to almost 200 but the email and mail in entries are more popular this year. So if you even considered it go ahead and jump in. If you aren’t a songwriter, but you know some encourage them to enter. It is truly one of the best ways we have to find wonderful new to us songwriters!

Rusty Wier contest, Rd 1 Wk 1, Dec. 21, 2014

Well, the 5th yearly Rusty Wier singer/songwriter challenge hit its first official round Sunday (Dec. 21), with 12 of the 37 artists singing three songs each on the Love & War in Texas (Plano) stage. They competed song-swap style, three at a time.
The contest has actually been going on a few weeks, on Tuesday nights, with about 60 musicians trying out to be a part of this yearly contest. Thirty-six were chosen, but organizer Brett Dillon (KHYI 95.3) said he went ahead and added the 37th one, a young man who just moved to the area from California, because the try-out scores were so close.
This first week had Matthew Jolley, Dale Riley, Will Hancock, Tin Man Travis, Nick Flint, James Dunning, Gigi Gosta, Travois Bolt, Mick Tinsley, Aaron Shook, Ben Dunlap, and Matt Grigsby on stage. All songs were originals.
These earned scores from judges Dillon, Trisha Aker, and Roger Russell, who also serves as sound man for the contest. They were not just competing against each other, but competed against all 25 still to compete in Round 1.
Next Sunday (Dec. 28 at 4 p.m.), the contest continues at Love & War in Texas, which is at the northeast corner of Plano Parkway and U.S. 75 in Plano. No cover charge for these contests.
