(PRWEB) March 23, 2005 -- There are over three million independent artists looking for their 15 minutes of fame and Florida based The Next Hit Song (http://www.nexthitsong.com) is going to give them their chance. Founder of The Next Hit Song, Maurice Evans has created an environment which allows the public to hear great new music submitted by independent artists and ultimately vote for who should be tomorrows next superstar. The Next Hit Song will be holding 11 live 3 day national auditions throughout the US beginning May 2005 and running through July culminating in Myrtle Beach, SC for the finals in September.
Preliminary auditions will be shown online and on national television to allow the public to vote for three "people's choice" winners to go to the Semi-Final Round.
In preparation for taking The Next Hit Song on the road the founders have enlisted the services of Los Angeles based Multimediary Entertainment Marketing (http://www.multimediary.com) to procure promotional partners. Thom King, President of Multimediary, said "We are really honored and excited to be able to work with The Next Hit Songs 11 market 2005 Tour". King added It is an excellent compliment to our other tours and events in that it targets a very hard to hit demographic that the rest of our opportunities can't effectively reach. With the amazing success of American Idol and the huge drawing power these types of entertainment have, I am sure we will have promotional partners lining up to get involved."
The Next Hit Song takes to the road for a 11-City National talent search tour scheduled to begin May 2005 extending through the middle of September. The Next Hit Song appeals to the 14 to 24 Gen Y, suburban and urban dwelling hipster demographic which is comprised of tastemakers and influencers of peer groups. The Next Hit Song auditions will target venues holding 1500-2500. According to King, "This audience can be reached virtually nowhere else." Based on a recent Multimediary in-house study, this target demographic is projected to spend $185 Billion this year and will spend $9.3 billion on electronics and computer equipment, $20 billion on eating out and $21 billion on clothing.
