Galaxie's Rising Star Contest awarded a prize of $3,000 to Graydon James & The Young Novelists on Sunday afternoon at Burlington's Sound Of Music Festival.
From Friday night until Sunday afternoon Cogeco Stage Performers at the Music Festival had the option to compete with fellow artists with a "song of their composition" - for a Grand Prize of $3,000!
A panel of industry experienced judges critiqued the participating artist's self selected song from their set and ranked it based on quality, composition, lyrics and style.
This year's choice of Graydon James & The Young Novelists was extremely difficult to make, the judges confided, when taking into account their fellow semi finalists of Madison Violet, Royal Wood and Jill Barber. All performers were amazing.
A big "thank you" has to go out to Galaxie for sponsoring this Rising Star Contest, and to all the performers who participated.
