A few months ago, Belt It Out! was just an idea on a whiteboard.
Today, I’m standing outside one of our incredible sponsor locations, wearing one of our very first official shirts, and realizing just how many people have already helped bring this season to life.
To every venue owner, sponsor, volunteer, future performer, supporter, graphic designer, photographer, bartender, DJ, judge, friend, and believer who has invested time, ideas, resources, encouragement, or simply shared a post…
Thank you. What you’re seeing this year isn’t just another season of Belt It Out!
It’s the beginning of a new chapter.
We’ve spent months rebuilding the experience from the ground up. New divisions. New formats. New audience interaction. New prizes. New events. New opportunities for singers and fans alike.
Most importantly, we’ve built it around the people who make this community special.
The performers. The audience. The venues. The friendships. The stories. The next few weeks are going to EX-CITE-ING.
Auditions begin June 22 & 23

As excited as I am about what we’ve built, I’m even more excited about WHO will shape what comes next.
If you’ve ever wanted to sponsor, volunteer, partner, perform, promote, or simply be a part of something bigger than karaoke…
There’s still room at the table. The page is turning. The next era of Belt It Out! starts now. See you all very soon.
