The one and only Songwriter battle in the Saar-Lor-Lux enters it’s fourth year.
Old Murphy's Irish Pub in Saarbrücken is holding a contest for Songwriters from the Saar-Lor-Lux Region. The winner of which will receive €1,000!
Songwriters with original material can apply Over the Wally's Songwriter Battle page until 31.7.18.
Casting events will be held Sundays throughout October and November. In January 2019 the 2nd phase, the Heats, will begin. The Grand Finale will occur in March 2019.
During the Casting phase performers will be rated by a jury of three, the third of whom will speak for the audience. During the Heats phase two judges will review the band based on a point system, additionally the audience will be asked to award the performers points as well. Three finalists will be chosen for the grand finale.
By combining audience participation (equalling 1/3 of the total score) and scores from our judges (equalling 2/3 of the total score) Wally's Songwriter Battle has created a fair and balanced system which avoids the "Popularity Contest" problem many music competitions simply accept.
Furthermore, new this year is the addition of the solidarity point system. In order to encourage musical exchange and the continued development of a vibrant music scene, participants who attend performances of their fellow participants will receive two solidarity points per show attended. These points will be added to their total score in the finale.
With Wally's Irish Pub and Old Murphy's Irish Pub located on the St. Johanner Markt, owner Austin Murphy has supported domestic and foreign musicians for years. With Wally's Songwriter Battle he and his team are creating an even larger platform from which artists from the regional music scene can present themselves. Additional information and pictures can be sent upon request.
