GRAMMY Showcases throughout various cities have built a successful track record of helping to expose new and emerging talent. Acts that have gone on to major label record deals include Saliva and the North Mississippi Allstars, who appeared in a past Memphis GRAMMY Showcase. Jessi Alexander was signed to MCA Nashville and Matt Jenkins to Universal South Records after becoming Nashville GRAMMY Showcase finalists. Florida’s 2008 runner-up Johnny Bulford won the $100,000 first place prize in the Colgate Country Showdown in Nashville and a past Florida finalist has also just become a GRAMMY nominee for the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards to be held January 31, 2010.

Florida Chapter members will also receive a discount to attend all shows, conference panels, and industry receptions at FMF2010 for only $50 (reg. $100) that they can access by emailing florida@grammy.com. For more information about FMF2010, visit www.floridamusicfestival.com.
