VOICE OF BVJ KARAOKE CONTEST
Infinite Event Services and ArrKann Trailer & RV are excited to bring back The Voice of Big Valley Karaoke Contest. Over the previous 21 years we've had some notable winners like Mat Cardinal (before joining The Prairie States), Candice Ryan and the late Shane Yellowbird. This is your chance to experience the rush of performing at an iconic Country Music Festival.
Join veteran hosts Jammin’ Jamie and Scotty P. for the open karaoke shows that will run in the Cook County Saloon at BVJ where anyone can come in and sing their favorite song. Over the first 3 days the top 16 singers will be invited to perform in the finals Sunday afternoon where our judges will crown the ArrKann Trailer Voice of BVJ winner for 2024. The winner will perform 1 song on the Sirius XM Stage in the Coors Original Saloon that night for thousands of country music fans. No other festival gives their guests a chance to sing on the same stage as stars like Luke Combs, Dallas Smith, Brothers Osborne and so many other greats so don't miss out.
Get your friends together and get to the Cook County Saloon everyday during BVJ. Whether you're hoping to qualify for the contest, or just want to belt out a song we have your stage ready!
