tate music group...crunch time

I'm not sure how we got here so quickly but we are only 3 days from 2009.

Most people would associate this statement with the coming of the New Year. However, at Tate Music Group, it holds an entirely different meaning. For TMG, it is the deadline for eligibility in the 2008 Tate Music Group Artist of the Year Contest. And that means there is a lot of work to do in the next 3 days.

We are really excited about this inaugural TMG artist competition. It is more than just a competition, though. It is a way for us at Tate Music Group to tell our artists how much we appreciate them and to showcase the talent we are able to work with everyday.

Tate Music Group artists will be choosing one of their songs to submit for initial judging. Based on writing, musicianship, and a few other criteria, the top songs, and therefore, artists, will be invited to come to Oklahoma City to perform their song live in front of a packed house and a celebrity judging panel. Ultimately, if you outperform the competition, you win the cash and prizes.

It is going to be a great time. I have been having a blast being a part of the planning and, truth be told, I wish I was eligible to compete. That would mean, though, that I would need to have an album and musical talent...how about I just leave that up to the real Tate Music Group artists?

I can't wait. Its crunch time.
