Beech Bend Super Star Talent Show
Grand Finale is Saturday, Sept. 12th
After sixteen weeks of competition, Beech
Bend Park prepares for the Grand Finale of its "Superstar Talent Show".
The talent showcase, modeled after successful
television programs like Nashville Star, American Idol, and America's Got
Talent, has run since Memorial day weekend, and eighteen contestants will
return to the park September 12th for one last competition to determine who
will take home the grand prize, an opportunity to host their own concert at
the park's Reagan Amphitheater.
Casey Riggs, of Hardinsburg, KY was the final
contestant to advance through the weekly audition process, and will be
featured as a guest on the park's media partners radio programs during the
week. Riggs' rendition of the Elvis Presley classic "All Shook Up" was good
enough to best the field of competitors and earn the Western Kentucky
University student a spot in the finals.
"Superstar" is co-produced by the park's
Group Ticket Sales coordinator Sherry Clouse along with the show's host, DGP
Entertainment founder and Kentucky radio personality, David Gary. The
concept for the show was put into action when the two met at a local
marketing convention earlier this year. Another key member of the
production team has been Robin White of the Portland, Tennessee based
Disciple Productions who has provided technical support and promotional
assistance throughout the season.
Sixteen weekly winners and two "Wild Card"
contestants will compete for the grand prize in front of a panel of twelve
judges who will each score the contestants on a scale of 1-10 in a variety
of categories before offering their criticism and praise of their
performances. Beech Bend's celebrity judging panel will include several
entertainment industry A&R executives, corporate partners of the park, and
recording artists, in addition to a field of journalists and media
personalities.
In addition to Riggs, weekly winners of the
contest include Kentucky winners Bobby Miller of Lexington, Kenzie Lewis of
Hodgenville,Lana McDonald of Bowling Green , Billy DuVall, Jr. of Park City,
Brad Collins of Center, Bailey Birge of Glasgow, Bethany Gearlds of Gamaliel,
Kyle Whittaker of Morgantown, along with Clinton Spaulding and Allison Bray
of Louisville
Tennessee winners include Maranda Lynn
Stickrod, Paige Bratton, and Elena Korol of Portland, KellyAnn Eidson of
Cookeville,Trista Wheaton of Nashville, and Landri Taylor of Bethpage.
Filling the two "Wild Card" entries are two
weekly competitors who did not win weekly competitions, but were hand picked
by the show's producers to advance. Valerie Gearlds of Tompkinsville,
Kentucky and Bailey Armstrong of Hendersonville, Tennessee left enough of an
impression to be invited back to compete in the finals.
