Week #11 of The Tilted Kilt Open Mic Competition turned out some fun performances and an excited ending. The $100 weekly cash prize for 1st place, fantastic prizes for 2nd and 3rd places, and the new 50% judge vote and 50% audience applause vote, kept the audience intrigued. Once everyone performed and the anonymous judge vote was tallied and added to the audience applause score, it was Mike Sick-boy who won 1st place and the $100 cash. HOWEVER, because Mike is already in the finals, he agreed to push the very close 2nd place winner, Solus Lupus to the finals. Solus Lupus took home $20 to Stuft Pizza and will now compete in the Grand Finals April 8th for a shot at a 3 day, 2 night trip to Las Vegas from Crater Lake Vodka, a $500 shopping spree at Guitar Center an Artist Development Session with Producer, Ronnie King, an artist spotlight article in Coachella Valley Weekly and a band/artist showcase concert from Morgan James Entertainment. 3rd place went to competition regular and talented guitar player, Rick Dame who took home 2 tickets to the Mary Pickford Theatre and a concession package.
