The Bugle Boy began hosting SUNDAY PERFORMANCE SHOWCASES in January 2008 for performing songwriters. National and statewide acts perform 2 songs each. Three finalists return to play a third song at the end of the afternoon, for a chance to win a cash prize, a spot in the bi-annual BEST OF SHOWCASE CONCERT, and a GRAND PRIZE performance at the annual ANNIVERSARY SHOW in January. Performance showcases are well attended and are hosted by Lane Gosnay. These showcases are a great opportunity for up and coming talent to hone their skills and for listeners to see and meet tomorrow's headliners.

For more information on playing at one of the Performance Showcases, please read the details and rules, then select the date you would like to sign up for by checking our 2010 schedule. A list of past performers and judges is available here.
