Various musical acts from Austin representing multiple campuses will perform in the first ever Austin Community College Music Showcase. The event is free to students and general public and will take place on April 21, at 3 p.m. at the South Austin Campus Courtyard.
A diverse mix of solo artists and bands will compete for the title of best act and the opportunity to play a gig at a Student Life event during the next academic year.
More than 40 musicians registered for the showcase and out of the 21 demo CDs received, the selection committee, which consisted of two students and one member of faculty, whittled it down to the eight chosen performers of a diverse mix of blues, electronic, folk, hip hop, rock, classical, and pop acts.
Each performer will play two songs and a panel of judges, made up of three students and two faculty/staff members, will evaluate them on stage presence, originality, audience interaction, and overall talent.
The winner of the music showcase will be announced during the ACC Student Life's Nite in the Life ceremony on April 30.
Drinks and snacks will be served, and student clubs have been invited to host a table during the event.
