The competition was designed to attract the best voices from around the community to showcase their talent and support local businesses.

“The karaoke championship offered those that want to compete to pick from nine qualifying events, held in nine different venues, on nine different dates. The 2 top scoring singers at each qualifying event automatically advanced to the semi-finals at Rhythm City Casino in August. “We have been blown away by the popularity of the qualifying rounds and the amazing talent that lives right here in the Quad Cities area” said Chris Pierce, co-chair, emcee, and co-founder of the event.
