Young, aspiring, local musicians rarely get the chance to work with a producer.

On November 4th at 2 PM at the Humboldt Golf Club, young musicians got their to win an opportunity during the Sound Cheque Showcase. Seven artists performed in front of the judges to decide who would take home first place.

The seven contestants submitted a video audition to the judges where all seven participants managed to make the cut. Each artist had to sing two songs. The first place artist, Julia Ramsay, won $2,500 of recording studio time with producer Randy Woods. The event is put on to promote vocal artists in the area and help artists continue with their talents and to keep making content that could eventually end up on community radio stations.

This is the 4th year the Sound Cheque Showcase has taken place and will likely carry on next year.
