For the past few months, The Portland Music Foundation has been carefully reviewing submissions for their 2011 CMJ contest which will provide a showcase spot, a consultation with a national public relations agency, as well as a stipend. The Portland Music Foundation has announced the seven contest winners who will be performing at their official CMJ Showcase on October 20th at Sullivan Hall in New York City at 7pm.
The event is sponsored by Husson University, State Theatre and Crooked Cove CD/DVD Duplication.
Each submission was reviewed by The Portland Music Foundation‘s CMJ committee, which judged participants on both songwriting and performance skills and web presence (web sites and social media). In addition, The Portland Music Foundation will live stream the showcase to Bayside Bowl, in its hometown of Portland, ME so Portland fans not making the trip to NYC can enjoy the show.
The Portland Music Foundation is proud to deliver a lineup showcasing Maine’s wide range of talent:
Spose -- 1 AM -- sposemusic.net
Sunset Hearts -- 12 AM -- sunsethearts.com
Billy Libby -- 11 PM -- billylibby.com
Kurt Baker -- 10 PM -- kurtbakermusic.com
The Milkman’s Union -- 9 PM -- themilkmansunion.com
The Mallet Brothers Band -- 8 PM -- mallettbrothersband.com
The Toughcats -- 7 PM -- toughcats.com
Last year the debut Portland, Maine music showcase was held during CMJ at Trash Bar in Brooklyn. This event was produced by PMF board members Will Etheridge CEO of Eternal Otter Records and Bryan Bruchman creator of hillytown.com. This year’s Sullivan Hall Showcase marks the 2nd year local talent has had the opportunity to play for international tastemakers, press, and industry professionals.
The showcase will be on Thursday October 20th at Sullivan Hall (18+) in NYC. Admission is $10.
