posted in: OurStage Updates

May is the by far the perfect month to help you shake off those winter blues. The sun is back out, the weather is warm and if you’ve been cooped up all winter”strumming on your six-string and singing about your long lost love”we know a little spring break is always welcomed. Luckily, Ernie Ball is stepping up to the plate with a big cure for all you blues players out there; a year’s supply of free strings and accessories! Whether you get down to the electric blues of artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King or the old school acoustic blues of Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ernie Ball’s got you covered. ENTER your best track by May 23, 2011 for your chance at this sweet prize package.

In case you had any doubts about how cool this prize really is, you can hear it firsthand from February alternative country winner Coles Whalen. We asked the Colorado songstress about what it was like to win the free strings, she commented “Awesome! So thankful to the people at OurStage! The Ernie Ball strings sound and feel amazing.” Ernie Ball has hooked up some truly exceptional OurStage artists with free strings and Whalen is no exception. Her music has been described by critics as soulful, powerful and straight from the heart, and after listening to her Ernie Ball winning song Go Child we think that description pretty much hits the nail on the head.  To hear a little more music from Whalen, check out the playlist below. If you dig what she’s doing, head to her OurStage profile and show her some love.
