The Toronto Blues Society is proud to present the 2012 edition of the Blues Talent Search. Local emerging blues artists are encouraged to submit to be chosen as one of six performing finalists at Nathan Phillips Square on Thurs Aug 16, Noon-2pm. The winner will receive a grand prize package that includes showcases at the Blues Summit Six, The Southside Shuffle, a show booked at The Delta Chelsea Monarchs Pub, mentoring sessions with industry professionals, and more.
The finalists will be chosen based on their "blues-worthiness", though similar genres (such as R&B, soul, funk) are encouraged to submit. The event is judged by esteemed industry professionals in the blues community.
In order to be eligible to submit, artists must not have been a finalist in a previous edition of the Talent Search, and must not be signed to a major label.
