Judges for Collaboraoke Round 2 are singer-songwriter Meagan McNeal, who just sang the title role in Lyric Opera's Safronia and was a contestant on NBC's The Voice, and writer, actor, singer and Collaboraction Company Member Sandra Delgado.
Both will offer professional feedback to each contestant as part of the show, American Idol-style, but always with love. Collaboraoke is hosted by Anthony Moseley, Collaboraction Artistic Director and crooner extraordinaire.
Collaboraoke: Real Band Karaoke kicked off with its first qualifying round on April 24, which yielded three semifinalists: Bella Cassel, Rachel Maloney and Destiny Strothers. Following Round 2 on May 28, there's one more chance to compete in the final preliminary round on Thursday, June 25. Winners from all three preliminary rounds will move on to compete again in the Collaboraoke: Real Band Karaoke Championship on Thursday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Collaboraction's new home in the Kimball Arts Center, 1757 N. Kimball Ave in Humboldt Park, is a sleek, 4,000-square foot space featuring a new 99-seat flexible studio theater and a 50-seat cabaret with cafe and bar. Free and nearby street parking is available. For CTA riders, the 82 Kimball-Homan bus stops right in front of the building. The theater is also a short walk from the Kimball stop on the 72 North and 73 Armitage bus lines.
