New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Magellan Development Group, builder of The SoBro, Nashville's tallest rental apartment high-rise, has announced the city's first artist-in-residence talent competition, The SoBro Star. The winner of the competition will receive a yearlong, rent-free stay at The SoBro. All singers and musicians are encouraged to apply.
The SoBro Star is a musical competition unlike any other in Nashville. This competition allows residents at The SoBro to hand-pick one local artist on the rise who will serve as both a live-in performer and in-house entertainment for events at the 32-story high-rise. By offering an artist-in-residence, The SoBro will provide a one-of-a-kind amenity to residents that incorporates the thrill of
Music City.
"The SoBro Star is the first artist-in-residence program in Nashville," said Cory Owak, property manager at The SoBro. "The Nashville experience is integral to The SoBro experience, and we can't wait for our residents to enjoy live music right in their own homes."
Contestants for The SoBro Star should upload a one-minute or shorter video to Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #TheSoBroStar by April 3. Individuals interested in participating should visit https://www.rentsobro.com/contest.aspx for full contest guidelines. The SoBro team will review all the entries and narrow the group down to three artists for consideration. Those final contestants will then perform at The SoBro Star competition on Saturday, April 22. From there, determining the winner is in the hands of The SoBro residents, who will cast their votes for the artist of their choice.
