I’m excited to say that I’ve been invited to be one of the 2012 MetroStar Challenge contestants! More information and crossed fingers to come, but for now please mark **Monday, July 16th** on your calendars – that’s when I sing one song as an “audition” to pass into the weekly challenge portion (July 30th – August 20th). And AUDIENCE VOTES COUNT – so please come on the 16th and all other future nights to cheer me on. Remember, the winner of this challenge at the end gets their own solo show at the Metropolitan Room, fully produced and recorded live for a CD (worth about $10,000), and the title of MetroStar Winner. Regardless of the outcome of the challenge, I look forward to bringing new songs to the audience, and to challenge myself to take the judges’ weekly input and advice to heart and take the experience as a learning one from the get-go!
