Eddie takes 1st Place with “Kiss” Steve rocked his way to 2nd Place Dinomite slides into 3rd PlaceCasey’s Grill & Bar; Kent, WAKaraoke Contest Finals at Casey’sBy Ty HughesJim and Randi, owners at Casey’s Bar &Grill in Kent, are not satisfied with the statusquo. They are constantly dreaming up themost unique in-house promotions, and you’reall invited!They’re monthly Wine Tasting parties arefilling the bar with happy-go-lucky men andwomen who know how to have a really greattime. Following last month’s Wine Tastingparty every Thursday, Karaoke Host Greggsigned up singers hoping to qualify for anend-of-the-month $300 winner-take-all finals.After a minor delay due to technical difficulties,he finally got the contest going. Ten singersanticipated their turn on the mic, but onlythree would advance.First up, John sang Seger’s Turn ThePage, followed by Lynne’s Earl Had To Die,Talia’s Killing Me Softly, Eddie’s Kiss, Karen’sAt Last, Dinomite’s If I Ever Fall In Love,Michelle’s Somebody To Love, Jake’s I’m SoHappy, Steve’s Take Hold Of The Flame, andNattie’s Sold.Everyone sounded great. KJ Gregg has away of making his singers really rock up there,and the surrounding audience loves everyminute of it. The dance floor gets a lot of traffic,and everyone is super friendly. It’s easy tomake new friends and strike up conversationswith perfect strangers at Casey’s. The mostinteresting people hang out here.Gregg’s best girl, Michelle, and her mom,Melody Records, and Steve sit by, listeningclosely, judging each singer on performance,vocals, and song knowledge.Once the results were in, KJ Gregg called allthe contestants to the stage, and proceeded to announcethe evening’s finalists to an eager crowd.See Casey’s Contest on page 13Steve and Michelle help in the judging process9www.NWKARAOKEGUIDE.net

Stars KaraokeContinued from page 8ily. They even pull all the tables together tomake one big congregating area. Collectively,they elevate the show. Karaoke night withGeodaddy is the best part of the week. EvenStars’ beautiful staff of bartenders appreciatethe karaoke. Everybody gets into it.Geodaddy is fully-certified as a legitimatekaraoke host, and puts out a nice, big book,chock full of quality Sound Choice karaoketracks. Strapped to the side of his booth is abig chalkboard with all the upcoming eventsscheduled. On Saturday, July 27, the It’s OKshow will have their Pajama Party. Come singwith your friends in your favorite PJs, justlike at home!Stars features weekly dart shoots andleagues, pool leagues, even Skeeball tournaments,which are growing in popularity! Foodand drink specials, pulltabs, and the game dujour showing on every wall, help to make Starsa great hangout, but it’s the people you’ll meethere that will have you coming back againand again.Join the family at Stars Bar & Grill, locatedat 31216 Pacific Hwy S., Federal Way,WA (253) 946-9734.Advertise your location andwe’ll review your show for free!Lo gets a double-shot for wearing her togaKaraoke Corner: Open LetterContinued from last pageing frayed khaki shorts, flip flops, mildly offensivet-shirts, and greasy baseball caps - thestandard bro uniform. I don’t care if you’re bald,a baseball cap is unacceptable. Live music is avisual form of entertainment. If you dress well,even if it’s hipster, funky, weird or flamboyant,as long as you look like you care about your appearance,and show a little self respect, you’llgo over better with my customers. The goodbands also respect their gig and the customers.They show up on time, they don’t make aracket while they setup (hint: keep your drummerquiet, especially when the jukebox is on),they choose their set list carefully, pace theirsets well, and stay engaged with the audienceand don’t stop playing if the dance floor is full,they don’t get hammered, and and they don’tleave a mess. All this adds up to what we callretention. Customers don’t leave. You would besurprised how many customers leave becauseof the band. And it’s usually not because theband is awful, but because it’s too loud, it’s thewrong repertoire, it’s rude and dismissive, it’snot engaged, and basically no fun for anyoneelse but themselves. And here’s a little tip: Yourcontinued employment is directly dependent onmy bartender’s opinion of you. That’s probablytrue for every single bar you play.One last thing: It’s hard to find work. Youmight be surprised at how much competitionyou have. I get emails, voicemails, regularmail, fed-ex packages left for me, all withearnestly concocted press kits and demos andI ignore almost all of it. I get walk-ins who, ifI’m there, I’ll give a few minutes to. Again,you’d be surprised how many show up in theirbro-clothes, tell me how awesome they are, andhand me a business card with a URL to theirreverb nation page or YouTube channel.
