Falcon Ridge 2012 Showcase Results

[Falc...@aol.com]

Here is some non FAI conference related news, a little change of pace. The results of our audience surveys for the top voted showcasers are at last all tabulated.

It was an outstanding year. The following top voted artists from were invited to the 2013 MOST WANTED SONG SWAP on our mainstage at this summer's 25th anniversary FRFF. There will be a few Preview Tour shows as well, more info later on our website.

1 - Poor Old Shine - garnering over 25% of the voters

2 - The Yayas - virtually tied for first with 25%, had exactly one vote less than POS

3 - Gathering Time - with just over 21%

A tie is less than 1/2 of one percent apart, about 1-3 votes out of several hundred.

Honorable mentions to Sweet Talk Radio from Los Angeles and Honor Finnegan from NYC, both came in with over 18% followed by Cary Cooper, Miles to Dayton and Sarah Blacker with 14%.

Much thanks to our FR12 showcase judges, Angela Page from WJFF Radio in Jeffersonville NY, Sara Gallmann of Music at the Mission in West Milford NJ and Scott Moore of Focus Music and Moore Music in the House in Rockville MD. Much thanks to Jeff, Brad and Benji at Sonicbids and Donna Grande, tech coordinator AND mainstage manager extraordinaire.

Have a great FAI everyone, sorry to miss it this year. I desperately need the catch up time tho. Thanks, Anne
