The Songbirds Talent Show will be hosted by local musician and season four contestant on The Voice, Amber Carrington.

The second place winner will get to shoot a professional music video and receive $100. The third place winner will receive $50.
“Part of our mission here at Songbirds is to provide concrete resources to emerging talent, and our Songbirds Talent Show is just one way we are doing that,” said Reed Caldwell, Songbirds’ Executive Director. “We can’t wait to see the diverse range of music and talent these kids will bring to our stage!”
Video submissions will be judged on talent, song choice, stage presence, and overall appearance. Twelve winners will be notified by email on Monday, April 10th by 5 pm EST that they will be moving on to compete in the ultimate battle of the bands at the Songbirds Talent Show.
