What American Idol did for individuals, THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND is going to do for musical groups. The producers of American Idol will conduct the ultimate search for an undiscovered band. THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND is scouring the country, seeking groups from all musical genres who think they have what it takes to make it big.Judges will narrow down bands from all walks of life -- musicians of different ages, family acts, garage bands, etc. -- to 10 semi-finalists, who will perform in front of a live studio audience. Viewers then will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite bands. The final three acts will compete for a major recording contract and the chance to become music superstars.  |
