Buffalo Wild Wingsin Abilene will host the 2011 KWCUSA North Texas State Karaoke Competition. The Abilene store and the three other BWW locations in the franchise will also host local competitions in Texas and Oklahoma. Russ Wristen aka The Party Doc DJ, Entertainment Director Buffalo Wilds Wings Exceptional Brands LLC says, "From a business stand point, the KWCUSA is a terrific draw. Our customers keep coming back week after week in their effort to become one of our weekly qualifiers for the summer finals. We actually have calls throughout the week to our stores wanting to know 'what night the KWCUSA contest is'; as opposed to calls before just asked if there would be karaoke. This is an important distinction, because this shows me that there are singers in our markets wanting to be part of this steadily growing franchise. From a singer's viewpoint, the KWCUSA is a challenging experience that brings out the heart and soul of a performer, demanding the best that they can be to showcase the talents they have. The KWCUSA attracts singers from all parts of the area and in turn demands more from our regular singers as they face mounting competition from other performers who are hungry for a chance at national stardom."
Also last weekLucy's Mexicali Restaurant'stwo locations in New Mexico andSammy C's Rockin' Sports Pubjoined the KWCUSA singing competition and karaoke contest along with The Zoo and Nitro Joe's in Lawton, Oklahoma.
KWCUSA was able to start the season earlier this year, and the excitement level is obvious. KWCUSA has had many singers register at their website in anticipation of the competition. Wendell Payne, President of KWCUSA, says, "It is really exciting and amazing to see the enthusiasm and interest in our competition. We have had a huge increase in calls, registrations, sponsorship opportunities and all other activity. We have spent a lot of time getting ready for the anticipated increase."
KWCUSA signed an agreement with ABC in May 2010 to develop reality show based on the KWCUSA competition. The show is being developed for this 2011 season to air in summer 2011. Karaoke World Championships USA can make your singing dreams a reality. This is your chance to be discovered in a nation-wide talent search for the greatest singers in America.
