4th Annual Habitat for Humanity’s Votes for Notes Musical Competition!

Mark your calendar for Habitat for Humanity’s 4^th Annual Votes for Notes fundraiser! Local musician Ray West is lining up musical talent for yet another season of this ever-growing, three-night event. New musical talent and popular pros are invited to compete in order to win $ 250 cash and other prizes at the Grand Finale.  At three competitions audience members “vote” for their favorite performers by dropping cash donations in the Habitat vote bucket. Habitat tracks each performer’s total with the winner being announced at the Grand Finale.  Performers are invited to play any or all three nights. Past performers and winners include Phoenix, Moondogs, Billy Brown, The Doerfels, Paul “Shanty” Elliot, Shastina Chiles and so many more!

Ray West, event organizer says “I wanted to find a way to bring customers into our local establishments during the traditionally slow season. Votes for Notes benefits Habitat for Humanity which does so much good in our community while giving local amateurs and professional musicians a chance to perform in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.”

Acts of all ages and genres are encouraged to compete in two categories; solo/duo or band.  The two winning acts will each win a $250 cash prize and other prizes such as free studio time, music store gift certificates and more.  All this is made possible by the very generous local businesses in support of Habitat for Humanity!

Interested musicians should contact Ray West (612)388-6333, [email protected] in order to be on the performance schedule.
