Grand Prize Winners
Top-ranked artists in the seven finals channels win $1,000 to go toward recording their next album, funding their next tour, getting new gear or anything else to take their career to the next level!
Urban Winner: NatStar – “NonChalant“
NatStar may be nonchalant, but he totally brings it on this track. Catchy and confident, he croons about romantic trials and tribulations over a bed of dark synth.
Rock Winner: Angels Landing – “Magnetic“
The driving backbeat and pulsing guitars of “Magnetic” underscore the song’s lyrics about two people undeniably drawn towards each other, no matter where they find themselves in life.
Country Winner: Don Worden – “No Goin’ Back Home Again“
A quietly beautiful country ballad in 3/4, this tune is ideal for the lost and broken-hearted listener. It nails the “tear in your beer” feeling, without being over-the-top or insincere.
Pop Winner: The Kind – “Sucker For Love”
Soaring vocals and smooth background harmonies complement The Kind’s jagged, distorted guitars. Together with an upbeat tempo and bubbly synth, “Sucker For Love” is the perfect pop package.
Specialty Winner: Kaleigh Baker – “Train Gone By“
A hand-clappin’, boot-stompin’ romp through the sonic atmosphere of the deep south, “Train Gone By” will have your downstairs neighbors filing a noise complaint in no time.
Video Winner: Matt Bailie – “Man Behind These Eyes“
Heartfelt, but upbeat, this song will undoubtedly pull on your heartstrings. The black and white video that goes along with it is also a great example of how less is often more in music video production.
Pro Performance Winner: Anunnaki – “ISHTAR Gates“
An epic and emotional 13-minute journey, “ISHTAR Gates” showcases Anunnaki doing what the ensemble does best: playing beautiful, intense, intricate chamber music.
