Local Arts News - Becky Abbott in Big Money Shot Final
Below is a report and request from Todd Littlefield of Diesel Entertainment on Becky's
shot at the prize this past Friday at Capital Music Hall.
"I want to thank everyone who came out to support Becky Abbott last night for her
performance in the Round 3 Finals of the Big Money Shot at Capital Music Hall last night!
Harpoon ended up winning last night by the very slightest of margins over Becky.
That said, the judges agree that Becky Abbott absolutely deserves to be performing in the
Grand Final and you the fans can make that happen!!
Fans can text BECKY ABBOTT to 885885 as many times as you like. Voting starts today
(November 15th) and goes until Sunday, November 23rd.
The top 5 bands, as decided by the texts, will compete in the Grand Final Wildcard concert
on Nov 28th. The top two bands that night, as decided by the judges, will be entered in
the Grand Final on December 12.
We appreciate support and in spreading the word to as many people as possible. We look
forward to having Becky put on a killer performance for you in the Wildcard Final!
Thanks Again,
Todd"
