Selected Artists receive:


  • The winner will be featured on his new official website the Music City Beat for the remainder of 2011. The new website will be promoted through all social networks including Facebook, Twitter, Fan Bridge, My Space, Google and Yahoo search engines.

  • An autographed publicity photo of The Charlie Daniels Band and a personal review from Gary.

  • Jack Daniels Lynchburg Cake and Candy made with Tennessee Jack Daniels Whiskey will send you their favorite item of the month. (The chocolate whiskey balls are a favorite with winners)

  • Your CD will be played at the monthly Music City Underground meetings at my studio in Nashville. Formally Play It Again Jam. They are Music City's longest running pro musicians party and have investors and talent scouts as well as songwriters and label management.

  • Julia's LipTints, will send the selected artists a really cool lip tint that holds up under stage lights and through photography sessions.



Genres currently entering the contest include: Americana, blues, rock, R&B, soul, country, pop, jazz, punk, reggae, acoustic and instrumental. Selected songs will receive a written evaluation by Gary Allen and will be passed on to additional contacts such as managers, A&R, radio, TV, engineers, booking agents, record labels and program directors.



They cannot critique all entries due to the sheer volume of submissions but Gary answers all inquiries and questions personally. Their good reputation is built on a “hands on” approach and respect for the music and the songwriters.



Prominent winners of their competitions include Malea McGuiness, opening for Kenny Loggins. We cater to global artists, amateur to professional and have had Rolling Stones, Doobie Brothers, Wings and Pointer Sisters in our contests. Competition can be stiff as Al Gore but that makes it all the better.
