We’re thrilled to announce Milwaukee Youth Idol — a brand new event celebrating young voices in our city! Presented by Girls Rock MKE in partnership with School of Rock Shorewood, this high-energy live competition invites youth to take the stage and sing their hearts out in front of a live audience along to a chosen music track. This inaugural event marking a collaborative partnership between School of Rock Shorewood and Girls Rock MKE aims to to promote creativity and empowerment for young musicians through new youth music events and community opportunities.
Time: 2:00-4:30 p.m. Performances, 4:30-5:00 p.m. Awards Ceremony
Who can participate: Youth vocalists (ages 8-18)
How it works: Think American Idol, but Milwaukee style! Performers will sing 1 minute of a chosen song for our panel of judges, including Gaby from REYNA, Cris Siqueira (Co-owner of Lion's Tooth Bookstore and singer of Spidora), Joey Turbo, Ken at Dirtnap Records, and Lexi Smith (Opera singer with UWM Florentine).
