The Best Country Singer in Houston Contest

Sam Houston Race Park hosts its annual singing competition

By Olivia Flores Alvarez

Published on January 03, 2008

Dust off your cowboy hat and warm up your singing voice — it’s time for the Best Country Singer in Houston 2008 contest at Sam Houston Race Park. Up for grabs is the chance to open for Johnny Lee in Playa del Carmen, a trip to the Country Music Awards, $1,000 and studio recording time. Contestants will compete in Junior and Adult divisions, and the finals will be held in late February. Everyone will be judged on singing ability, of course, but we’re guessing a rhinestone halter top and stilettos won’t hurt. 7 p.m. 7575 North Sam Houston Parkway West. For tickets and contest information, call 281-807-8760 or visit www.shrp.com. $30 contest entry fee; $9 admission.
Fridays, 7 p.m. Starts: Jan. 4. Continues through Feb. 15, 2008
