Machine Gun Kelly Loads Up With Dates

With dates surrounding the release of his sophomore album, Kelly is inviting the best fiddlers in each town to submit YouTube videos depicting them performing MGK’s single, “A Little More.”  Winners in each city will join Kelly on stage when he performs the song live.

The contest started today and violinists have until June 21 to submit their best vids.  Click here for more info, including the contest’s rules and regs.

While we’re talking about links, you should really check out Grammy U, the Record Academy’s community of college students who are pursuing careers in the music industry.  Grammy U provides programs and events, including “SoundChecks,” “MasterClass,” “Off The Record” and “Breaking Into The Business.” to further those dreams.  Visit Grammy U on  Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more information.
