Congratulations to Matthew Dorrien for placing first in the WLSC2008, and to Rosi Golan for placing second, and to Becca Stevens for placing third!
The WLSC, a JezebelMusic.com event, is at the center of the Williamsburg Music scene, the most creative and collaborative neighborhood in New York City, perhaps even the world. Currently in it's fifth year of production, this high profile competition has emerged as a national event, receiving submissions from across the country and even abroad. From a pool of 1,000 applicants who submit their original recorded songs, 150 will be chosen to compete in the live competition – eight consecutive nights – in front of music industry professionals, journalists, peers and fans. The first place prize is $4,000.
Hosted By:
Mike Grubbs of Wakey!Wakey!
"Mike Grubbs could speak for each and every one of us when he pulls at our heartstrings with tales of lost love and broken spirits. But he's more than just another poetic, tortured soul. Grubbs' combines some beautifully played piano with a voice so striking it resonates around the room galvanising everybody within earshot - both painful and beautiful in equal measure." - Joel Crane (NME)
