Poplar Bluff, Missouri - Twelve local entertainment acts will compete in front of a live audience for $1,000 in cash as Show Me Whatcha Got wraps up its second season at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 1 in the Tinnin Fine Arts Center on Three River's main campus.
The twelve finalists have survived two rounds of auditions beginning only five short months ago in February. The performers have defeated over one hundred other competitors competing for the grand prize.
“I’m amazed by the sheer amount of talent that we’ve found with our Final Twelve,” said Mitch Davis, the show’s creator and a member of the judging panel. “They’ve all given stunning performances so far, and I’m sure they’re bringing their A-games to the final show.”
Kicking off the show will be a performance by Rebekah Northern, a singer-song writer from Bloomfield, Missouri. The twelve performers will follow the opening act and perform one last time for the show. Tanisha Jones, the winner of last year's competition, will return for multiple performances throughout the night.
The official winner of season two will be selected by both the audience and the judge's panel. They will select two finalists who will perform their final song before the official voting via text message begins later that night. The finalist with the most audience votes will receive the grand prize and will be announced at the winner of season two.
Tickets for the show are currently available at the Poplar Bluff Chamber of Commerce from now until May 31st (hours are from 8am to 4pm). Tickets can also be purchased at the Tinnin Center on Three River's Poplar Bluff Campus on June 1st starting at 5pm.
