From July 9th to 11th, songwriters and performers across Niagara took part in CREATE the Summer’s second 48-Hour Competition: MUSIC!
Musicians took up the challenge to write and record a song in only 48 hours! As part of the competition, participants were given a theme and lyric prompts that they had to include in their entry. Their theme was “It happened at midnight” and their two lyric prompts were “Root” and “Current”.
The musicians had a daunting task, but they were more than up to it! As the submissions came in, we were blown away by all the outstanding songs across styles and genres, from heavy hitting hard rock to soulful solo performances.
And now the time has come to announce the winner of CREATE the Summer’s 48-Hour Music Competition!
So, without further ado, here’s Kateri Foreman to reveal our winner!
