Congratulations to singer/songwriter Michaela Clark for winning the NEPA Scene Rising Talent Finals Showcase last night! Her original songs impressed both the judges and the crowd at The V-Spot in Scranton, and the comedians killed it as well - Angelia Petrillo came in a very close second place, and Yusuf Qadri took third! We want to thank all 11 acts who delivered some amazing performances, the great crowd who cheered them on, the judges who had some difficult decisions to make, The V-Spot and their hardworking staff, and the sponsors who make this 13-week open mic and talent contest possible - Fireball Whisky, Samuel Adams, LT Verrastro, and Ionic Development! Michaela won $250 cash, a video production from Ionic Development, and other cool prizes like a new YETI cooler! Angelia took home $100 and, thanks to an anonymous donation, Yusuf also received $100. We had a blast, and we'll see you again in March for another season of local talent! #NEPAtalent #Scranton #ScrantonPA #Dunmore #Pittston #WilkesBarre #NEPA #Pennsylvania #NEPAScene #openmic #VSpot #TheVSpot #music #musician #localmusic #localcomedy #standupcomedy #arts #entertainment #artist #talent #risingtalent #show #event #contest #competition #supportlocal #supportlocalmusic #supportlocalcomedy (at TheVspot Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Y1O_CHrnz/?igshid=1ujiybivdplk1

Another feel-good story came out of the last week of our NEPA Scene Rising Talent open mic and talent contest. Last Tuesday, two young guys who have been coming to our events all year returned to The V-Spot in Scranton with a full band and the determination to win. Instrumental math rock can sometimes be a hard sell to a bar crowd, but Shodémon was on point, building on everything they've learned on stage and off to take home the audience vote, $50 cash, and a chance to compete in the Finals Showcase THIS TUESDAY! These guys put in the work and deserve the spot, so don't miss them and 10 other unique solo musicians, duos, bands, and comedians performing for a great crowd and a panel of judges who will decide the winner of the grand prize - $250 cash, a high-quality video production from Ionic Development, a headlining gig, and a winter prize package from Samuel Adams and LT Verrastro! We will NOT be live streaming this show, so you have to be there to see it!
