Shore’s Song of Summer narrowed to 10 finalists

The Shore 104.3 FM moved one step closer to crowning its official Song of Summer 2010 on Monday when the radio station announced the 10 finalists in its Sounds of Summer contest.

The B.C.-centric songwriting competition will award $20,000 in development funds to its winner, which will be announced at the end of July. The winner will also receive feature play at the Burnaby Root & Blues Festival and other Shore events this summer.

“We had a great cross-section of different kinds of artists, so we were pretty happy,” said Patrick Zulinov, the Shore’s program and music director. “We had some pretty good judges with a wide range of opinions, but it was all pretty much centred on those 10.”

The judging panel narrowing the finalists from 20 to 10 included Wide Mouth Mason’s Shaun Verreault, Matthew Good, Don McLeod and a variety of media and industry types.
