That’s a really nice couch, huh? (Peter Marince)

Local singer/songwriter Liz Williams, ever the fan of contests we’ve never heard of, has apparently reached a milestone in yet another competition.

This time, she’s reached the Top 15 in something called the Boru Bar Band Contest. Sponsered by Boru Vodka, the contest awards $10,000 of professional gear of the artist’s choosing, plus a professionally produced, shot, and edited video.

At the moment, Williams is in 6th place in the contest’s open voting, behind such luminaries as (shout at me if you have ever heard of any of these acts) The Loveblisters, The Second Advance, Whirl, Luck Brothers and Johnny the Saint and the Velvet Hand.

When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$30,000

Voting to support local product Williams ends October 26, so there’s still time to put one of our own at the front of the pack. Williams deserves the kudos as her brand of pop/rock has enough brains and beauty to easily garner her some national attention.

Plus, each voter is registered in a fan contest that will award $5,000 to some lucky schmuck. So there’s that. –Darryl Smyers
