Porterfield, Judging Offer, and A New Launch

In other news, Porterfield Country Music Fest is just around the corner! I will be hitting the stage and making my debut at Porterfield on Thursday, June 14th @ 1pm on the main stage! I will be performing for about 30-45 minutes, including the singing of the National Anthem. I am honored to be accompanied by three very talented musicians, whom I met last summer through the Lakeshore's Rising Stars competition (www.lakeshoresrisingstars.com) I participated in- Riley Haupt on drums, Matt O'Grady on Guitar, and Ben Hoffman on Keys. I am very excited for this performance! For further information about this country music festival, please visit http://www.countrymusicfestival.com/. If you are interested in attending the festival and catching my performance and are looking to purchase tickets, please contact me and I might be able to sell you weekend passes at a DISCOUNTED RATE! I only have a few left so don't hesitate to send me an email at jessica@jessicaplansky.com today!

More exciting news! I have been offered a judging position from KIX Country (based out of Escanaba, MI) for the newest country karaoke competition of the summer! I am honored to have been offered this position and I look forward to judging the hottest talent from the U.P. and Northeastern WI. The competition kicks off at the Island Resort and Casino in Harris, MI in just two weeks from tonight, June 18th! I will have the honor of judging the 6 prelim rounds, but unfortunately will not be able to attend the finale due to a prior engagement! If you would like more information about this competition, please visit their website at http://kmbbroadcasting.com/wykx/index.php?home. KIX Country has been nothing but great to me and has supported me in so many ways, including sending me to Vegas, playing and promoting my talent on-air, and pulling in votes for the national vocal competition I did earlier this year! They have been nothing short of amazing to me and I thank them for everything!

Also, a great friend of mine and co-producer of Lakeshore's Rising Stars just launched a newly designed website today! Check it out- www.terrystevenson.com !

I apologize that I have been slacking on posting a bit, but be sure to continue to check back for more updates...the summer is just beginning to get interesting and I will be posting more and more exciting news as the weeks progress...

Take care and God Bless!
Jessica
