Lead Singers wanted for major International Tour

Shaun Barrowes from Fox TV’s American Idol, and Stephanie Castagnier from NBC’s The Apprentice are searching for the best singers to put on tour. They have established The Live for Music Tour, and they’re overbooked. Shaun Barrowes is personally headlining 80 concerts, with an average sized audience of 1,000 people. Now he’s looking for singers with star quality to headline 10-40 concerts (depends on your level of expertise). This would put you directly in front of 10,000-40,000 people, most of whom are high school students. You will also be supporting a great cause, as these concerts benefit Child Cause (Child Cause raises teen drug awareness by inspiring through the arts).

As part of the Live for Music Tour, you will be performing with the high school’s choir, jazz band, drum line, orchestra and Dance Company. These school music groups will accompany you in a major concert production that will be televised and broadcast internationally.

All expenses for the tour will be covered by Live for Music. You will also be compensated for every concert. These are PAYING gigs. Pay is TBA. The tour starts FALL of 2011.

The goal is to make you famous in each of these cities, so we can make sure these concerts are a BIG deal to the school and the community. We’re looking for singers we can turn into celebrities. We have a couple of TV shows we’re producing to help with this, as well as major publicity campaigns that we launch in each of these cities.

Instructions for submitting:
To submit for this listing, we need you to record and post a YouTube video of your performance to one of Shaun Barrowes’ original songs. You can find free minus tracks and lyrics on his ReverbNation page. If you would like a lead sheet for any of the songs, please email us and we’ll send that to you, also for free. Your video should be titled: “(Your Name) auditions for Live for Music”. In the description, you should include the name of the song and the artist (Shaun Barrowes). In order to qualify for this tour, your YouTube video needs to reach 1,000 views (this is so we know you're a SERIOUS artist!). This WILL NOT be a competition to see who gets the most views. Once you receive 1,000 views, your video will be judged fairly with all of the others.

RULES:
This submission is open to ALL Ages. Your YouTube video must have at least 1000 views and it must be a video of the artist's performance to one of Shaun Barrowes original songs. Artists can submit as many videos as they want. Artists can interpret Shaun Barrowes music however they want, and produce any version or rendition of these songs for their video audition.

...And I Dance Lyrics

…And I Dance

Vs. 1
Your words are all related
To the winds that pass me by
A beat has resonated
From the corners of my
Mind if I
Step outside
And jump back into me
‘Cause on my skin
And deep within
Is a burning melody

Chorus
…And I dance
Like I’m pushing through the crowded street
Cause I just gotta move my feet
…And I dance
Like I’m banging on an open door
To try to release the flow
…And I Dance
Like I need to fill the spaces with noise
Because without dance
What’s the point

Vs. 2
The road to me’s congested
I stand in my own line
It’s time for my confession
To the people I’m
Behind the wall
And above it all
Is a song that carries me
Back inside
My fragile mind
That strengthens to the beat

Final chorus:
…And I dance
Like I’m pushing through the crowded street
Cause I just gotta move my feet
…And I dance
Like I’m banging on an open door
To try to release the flow
…And I Dance
Like I never felt love before
And I’d find it beneath the floor
…And I Dance
Like I need to fill the spaces with noise
Because without dance
What’s the point
