Admit it, you’ve got a killer voice. The problem is only you, and the rubber ducky at the bottom of your shower—aka music studio with stellar acoustics—know it. Or maybe you happen to be a world-champion unicycler, juggler, beat boxer, or even have a knack for swallowing fire. It could happen. Ocean 98.1 WOCM is calling all shower singers, former circus performers and anyone else whose got a talent worth putting on stage.
Thursday January 26th, the Ocean 98 Talent Show plans to showcase the Eastern Shore’s most talented citizens. This modern-day take on a competitive variety show replaces the former Ocean 98 Idol competition, which featured singers vying for a trip to the Grammy’s.
At stake in this year’s talent competition is an all-expenses paid trip for two, to Las Vegas. Winner takes all: three nights accommodation at a four star hotel—last year’s winner was put up at the trendy and luxurious Palms Hotel and Casino—roundtrip airfare included.
For those who wish to enter, registration ahead of time is encouraged. The process is simple, and can be completed, right here. If spaces still remain, a limited amount of contestants may be accepted the night of. Last minute entrants are encouraged to arrive by 7pm.
The show will be hosted by DJ BK, and judged by a panel of esteemed individuals including The Thunder Walrus, a comedian from Baltimore who will also be performing, Legendary DJ Batman, host of Ocean 98’s Hair of the Dog Show, and, best known for his near-psychic sport picking abilities—Thursday and Friday Happy Hour Co-host, Big Al Reno.
Those who attend the competition can expect to see a special performance by a capella doo wop group, Smooth Teaze, who will also give a preview performance during Live Lixx at Six, and the comedic stylings of The Thunder Walrus.
Hopeful participants already signed up include singers/musicians, comedians, and a few “unique” talents, such as the man who claimed last year to be the fastest beer drinker in the state. He is returning for a repeat performance, having clocked an even faster time in hopes of winning the Grand Prize.
As of last evening, 12 contestants were in the running to win Ocean 98’s Talent Show. Take this opportunity to showcase your skills. The event takes place tomorrow, Thursday January 26th at 7:30 pm at Seacrets, 49th St. and the Bay, Ocean City, MD.
