Women singer-songwriters from Southwest Colorado are invited to audition for Season 3 of Amplified, a showcase for original work.<\/p>\n

Auditions are April 30, at ZU Gallery, 48 W. Main St.<\/p>\n

Each selected performer will be given 10 minutes to play two original songs, on a first-come, first-served basis. Professional sound will be provided by women-owned Abboe Sound, and a piano will be available.<\/p>\n

Performances will be Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18-19, in Cortez. Solo artists and small ensembles are welcome. All material must be original.<\/p>\n

The event, founded by physician and musician Amanda Mullen, a local physician and musician, is run by ZU Arts Initiative under executive director Jodi Jahrling.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouthwest Colorado has women writing incredible songs that nobody outside this community has ever heard. Amplified exists to change that,\u201d Jahrling said.<\/p>\n

A panel of judges will select a Best of Show winner, and audience voting will determine a People\u2019s Choice winner. Both winners will receive monetary prizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome as you are, bring your songs and know that you already belong here,\u201d said co-producer Abi Wild Rose.<\/p>\n

Reserve an audition slot by emailing grow@cortezarts.org<\/a>. Artists unable to audition in person may submit a video of one original song, along with their name and hometown, by April 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
