 Los Angeles, California, USA - TLAMS Entertainment Services is now taking
submissions for the Third Annual Acoustic Live talent series, an
“acoustic” battle of the bands / songwriting competition, presented by the
LAmusicScene.com. 42 artists will be
chosen by a submission panel of industry professionals to take part in the
Acoustic Live competition. Industry professional judges will advance artists to
the final Acoustic Live showcase, for a chance to win great prizes provided by
Acoustic Live sponsors.
Acoustic Live is building a tradition of connecting emerging artists with
industry professionals. Jaryd Burton recently signed a record and merchandising
deal with Viastar Records after being discovered by Acoustic Live judge, Shiva
Baum (A&R). Acoustic Live judge, Kia Kamran (Entertainment Lawyer), is now
representing AL finalist, Jim Bianco. Nadine Zahr, signed a
management/development deal with TLAMS Entertainment Services. Sara Barielles,
was offered a publishing deal through Chrysalis. These are just a few of many
opportunities created.
Seth Schwartz, founder of Acoustic Live, commented that AL sets itself apart, “by
finding submission panelists and judges that are industry professionals, working
in the business, who are seeking talent, not just industry staples. It’s the
best way to make a true connection, and this year, we’ll continue to build on
that philosophy.” Past judges have included, Tyler Bacon (Position Music),
James Cerreta (Chrysalis), Tom Morris (Hollywood Records), Ben Nachman (Bug
Music), Carmen Rizzo (Producer), Matty Spindel (Producer/Engineer), James
Mormile (Geffen), Taki Pappas (Clear Channel), and many others.
From submissions to showcases, AL is judged solely on one or more of the
following: songwriting, originality, performance, and musicianship. Acoustic
Live showcases are presented in a strictly acoustic format, putting the emphasis
on the songwriting while leveling the playing field between solo artists and
bands.
Submissions are being accepted now through August 1st. Artists are encouraged to
review official rules before submitting. Acoustic Live is open to all genres of
music, artists and bands alike; submissions do not need to be acoustic.
Submissions are $15 dollars and will be accepted via
acousticlive.net and
Sonicbids.
Acoustic Live sponsors include: Larrivee
Guitars, 144 Studios, and
Sonicbids.
