Accomplished names in the music industry who judged the 2007 competition include Jon Anderson, of the legendary rock group, YES, Antonia Bennett, jazz singer and daughter of the great Tony Bennett, Jake Hooker, who wrote the classic hit "I Love Rock 'N Roll", and John Braheny, author of the songwriter's bible, "The Craft and Business of Songwriting."
Entry submissions are judged by a committee of music industry professionals in the categories of Originality and Marketability to men and women aged 25-54, a prime wine-consuming market. Artists among the best submission entries will be invited to perform at one of the two semifinal competition concerts in August where live performances will be judged in the category of Musicianship. In each of the two semifinal concerts, the two highest scoring artists advance to the final competition in October, along with one wild card winner. Finalists will be judged in all three categories.
Held in a bucolic outdoor setting in Paso Robles, the heart of California's scenic Central Coast wine region, attendees enjoy original music, visit a variety of tented kiosks on the grounds, sample many of the area's best wines and gourmet food, or purchase the work of some of California's best original artists and craftspeople.
