Making the Tour: More Info

 

 

Midwest Connections Entertainment Agency is essentially a one stop shop for all entertainment needs. Providing services such as, Social media marketing, touring, production, and artist development just to name a few.  Our goal is to push as many indie artist & small businesses to the forefront as possible; supplying these individuals and small companies with as much exposure as they wish.  This enables our clients to receive all their industry needs that normally would not be accessible without the backing of a major Label.

v  The Show

Midwest Connections and AhaYah Productions have linked up to bring forth a new Reality TV show which will run on YouTube as a Web-Series for  days. The show will capture several artists in their daily lives, while on tour promoting themselves and their music. Also capturing their performance on stage and interaction with people in during social events.
Each artist will be judged by a panel of judges from top entertainment companies in St. Louis for an outstanding prize.

 

 Artist will be judged on 5 different categories at each Panel meeting:

 Crowd Interaction

Sales

Promotions

Stage Performance

 

v  Details

Artist will be instructed by team leaders and given tools to help market themselves in the most effective way for each challenge on the tour.

Each artist will have their own separate camera crew documenting their daily activity over a 16 hour period.

In each city the artist will be given the opportunity to perform outside amongst large crowds and also in venues that hold up to 300-500 people. At the end of each segment the panel of judges will review the taping of that days hustle.

 Then they will rate the artist based off their performance in the 5 different categories on a scale of 1-10 and the scores will be added up.

The artist with the highest score is automatically saved from elimination and proceeds to the next round. The artist with the lowest score is automatically dropped off the tour.

In addition to this in each city that we travel to auditions will be held for artist in that city to join the tour. So although we will be removing an artist in each city there is an opportunity for a new artist to come on the tour taking the place of the previous artist who has been let go.
