Philly Radio: WMGK Looking For Elton John Cover Artists

Beasley Media Group announces Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK-FM is teaming up with The Philly POPS to give a local performer the chance to dazzle adoring Elton John fans during The Music of Elton John featuring Michael Cavanaugh Pre-Show.

The event will take place on Saturday, November 11, on the Plaza stage at The Kimmel Center prior to The Philly POPS performance.

From November 10th through the 12th, the largest standalone pops orchestra in the United States, The Philly POPS, will be conducted by Stuart Chafetz and joined by Grammy and Tony nominated singer, Michael Cavanaugh, when they dedicate three days to scintillating performances of Elton John’s most celebrated songs.

Interested participants can submit a video clip of their performance of an Elton John song via the contest page on the station’s website.

At the end of the submission period, WMGK-FM and Philly POPS staffers will narrow down the entries to five finalists, all of whom will receive a pair of tickets to see The Music of Elton John featuring Michael Cavanaugh with The Philly POPS. Station listeners will then have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist at wmgk.com. The winning contestant will be determined by a combination of listener voting and scoring by the judging panel.

The winning contestant will receive 10 tickets to The Philly POPS November 11 concert, free dinner for two and the thrill of performing in front of Elton John fans in a packed Kimmel Center Plaza Stage during WMGK’s pre-performance party.
