We are down to the Top 30, and counting down towards crowning this year's BIG winner on Monday, August 29.
Bar1 Events and Budweiser are proud to present the 7th Annual Bar1’s Big Break: Discovering Chicago’s Best, A Vocal Competition.
This year’s efforts will culminate with a whopping $20,000 in prize money for the winners of this intense 11-week singing competition, including a $15,000 Grand Prize for the Big Break Champion. During those eleven weeks, Duffy’s will be transformed from mild-mannered sports bar to the epicenter of vocal talent in the Chicagoland area. The singers, illuminated by elaborate stage design, lighting, and top notch digital musical accompaniment, will battle for audience approval as their counterparts are eliminated week by week. An in-house live video broadcast and dedicated production staff creates TV studio ambiance unparalleled in Chicago.
