Hey all cover-ers,
In the midst of my Coffeehouse work, the magnificent Ms. Sara Bareilles posted an awesome opportunity, and I thought I'd share (and possibly participate? mid-June is indeed coming up fast...)
Through TopBlip, which is a launching board for Internet cover artists to get heard, Sara is holding a contest, with some pretty exciting prizes, for someone to do a cover off her new "Once Upon Another Time" EP. Any one of the half-dozen songs is free game, and the winner will be decided via popular vote. The condition is that an entry can't be a recording over a montage of stills, etc. -- they want video of you performing. Doesn't matter if it's a solo performer or a band. I've linked to the contest page below so you can read up...
Sara's a hell of a tough act to follow, but it's sublime material to work with, so if you think you got it, do something with it :)
I'm inclining towards "Lie to Me". I started demoing it yesterday afternoon, and E minor is indeed the sweet spot. Plus, without fail, strings parts are cool to convert to piano.
Get your fill of "Lie to Me" here, and link to the contest page here.
Good luck cover-ers.
