LEWISTON — Singers, bands and musicians of all kinds are encouraged to attend open auditions for “Maine’s Got Talent,” which will be held in Auburn and Portland this month.
Performers at the auditions will be chosed to compete for cash prizes.
Auditions in Portland are 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20, at Empire Live Music & Events, second floor, 575 Congress St., Portland.
Auditions in Auburn are 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, and Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Community Little Theater, 30 Academy St., Auburn.
Auditions are open to all performing artists who live in Maine, including out-of-state students attending Maine schools. Those performing must be 16 years old or older.
Auditions are held on a first-come, first-served basis. Bands must bring a light set-up. Vocalist must bring a soundtrack.
Auditions aim to secure 10 musical performers and two alternates who will compete for $750, $500 and $250 during the eight annual Maine’s Got Talent on March 9, held at the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston.
Past musicians have ranged from eight-person house bands to lone acoustic singer-songwriters, large-scale college a cappella groups to teen singers with ambition.
Maine’s Got Talent is the annual fundraising event for Lewiston-based non-profit Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services, which provides a full range of clinical and educational services to individuals of all ages and abilities, and LA Hearing Center. Modeled after popular shows American Idol and America’s Got Talent, a panel of three local celebrity judges and audience feedback determine winners of first-, second- and third-place cash prizes in front of a live audience.
