Keene Idol has now become Southern Vermont Idol! For twelve years, Keene Idol amateur singing competition was a signature event in Keene, NH. In 2016, producer Susan MacNeil, who has relocated to Bellows Falls, VT will present the 13th year of the event under its new name. Although the five-week time frame of July and August will remain the same and contestants do not have to reside in southern Vermont to compete, other aspects of the event will change in its new location beginning with the audition process.
This event is known as an opportunity for performers to hone their craft in a supportive, professional environment and is open to all amateur performers regardless of experience. For the purpose of this event, the word amateur is defined as a singer who does not make their sole living as a performer.
Net proceeds will benefit the nonprofit organization, Rockingham Arts and Museum Project (RAMP) of Bellows Falls, Vermont celebrating 20 years in 2016!
The competition will move forward with many familiar elements and a few new ones
