KOTB
The Guitar Center King of the Blues competition.
I (Tim O'Donnell) was recently involved in a contest put on the Guitar Center. I heard about it on the radio and there were some great prizes involved. The first date of competition was in March. I drove down to the Guitar Center in West Palm and signed in. It was mostly local guys.
This contest used to be called guitarmageddon and hosted an array of very speedy guitar players. They changed it to the King of the Blues to try and get more people involved. The first night there were some good guitarist. I went and did my thing and advanced. A month later I went to the same store and won the area of West Palm Beach. Three weeks after that I competed in Hallandale and won that event which won me a Les Paul and a bunch of other stuff. This also put me on a plane to Nashville to the Regional finals.
Cougar drove me and Rebecca up and I competed but lost to a very good guitarist from Houston named Aaron Loesch. Amazingly the whole thing was cool and I met a bunch of cool people and from what I saw in the comp some real true blues guitarist were advancing. From somewhere in the range of about 5000 contestants I made it to the final 22 and couldn't believe it. The final is in Hollywood Ca. on June 16th. For any info on the comp you can go to gckingoftheblues.com. Both Rebecca and I have tracks listed on the site which can be voted on for airplay. Check it out and listen to some good undiscovered artists.
