The 2008 KBH Showcase Series is your chance to perform in front of
real industry professionals. If selected, your music will be in front of the people who can help you with publishing deals, press coverage, recording deals, music licensing & placements, management representation, bookings and other opportunities.
Plus, artists who showcase have the chance to be one of the few artists accepted to the Temecula International Film & Music Festival! KBH Entertainment produces at least one showcase a month specifically for the Temecula International Film & Music Festival and is currently accepting submissions for the May thru September 2008 season.
Hand picked industry panelists attend these showcases to review, evaluate and ultimately select one or more of the participating artists to perform at the TVIFF event and, in some cases, present other opportunities to artists. Here's just one example: After an amazing performance on Dec. 6, 2006 at The Mint (Los Angeles), David Thiele was signed immediately to a multi-album deal with Will Ackerman's new record label, New Land Music! His national debut LP is due in stores 2008.
