Jennifer was included in SingerUniverse.com's Top 5 Vocalist of the Month Series. Winners received a free year subscription to BroadJam and a newsletter feature. - Singer Universe
Ten of the top bands from around the state rocked Fifth Avenue Bar in Royal Oak for the “96.3 WDVD Rockin’ the Eve 2011 Battle of the Bands”, and after a tense “jam-off” tie breaker between the two best bands of the night, The Wallclocks of Detroit came out on top.
“Man, we are still in a daze”, says Jonathan Mazzei, the lead singer of the band. “We are so excited and can’t wait to get up on stage and wow the crowd”.
Besides winning $1,000 in prize money, “The Wallclocks” get the chance to appear as the warm up act for The Romantics and the Gin Blossoms on New Year’s Eve when downtown Royal Oak will be transformed into a local version of New York’s Time Square. “The Wallclocks”, who recently celebrated their 100th gig, is on a roll. Congratulations guys!
- My radio show, “The Radio Café” sent out a call for local singers and bands to submit holiday music for airplay during this week’s Christmas special and we received some awesome tracks.
