“McIntyre’s is the perfect host for us in 2022. There isn’t a venue in Texas that is a bigger fan of Texas artists than McIntyre’s so it was an easy choice for our venue this year,” says Tracy DeJarnett, HoustonLive founder and producer of Songfest ’22. “Houston, Texas is home to some of the biggest break-out artists like Beyonce, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earle Keene, Megan the Stallion, and Madeline the Person,” says DeJarnett. “It’s time to shine a spotlight on the next generation of break-out, world-class artists in a city that has a history of being the home to the world’s best-known stars.”
HoustonLive’s judging team for Songfest ’22 includes Alex Novarro, president of the American Federation of Musicians, Houston Musicians Union, Local 65-699, adjunct faculty at Los College of Music, pianist for the Houston Ballet Academy, and musician; “Songwriter Studio” host, KPFT DJ and musician Tom Tranchilla and Michael Mikulka owner of Lucky Run Studio and a 30-year voting member for the Grammys.
Also joining the HoustonLive team this year are platinum-selling, award-winning Texas singer-songwriters Bernie Nelson, Heather Little, Helene Cronin, Ben McPeak, and Brian Kalinec who are not only performing this year but also offering coaching support for the 2022 Songfest finalists. Songfest’s three-time finalist Alex Coba will also be performing with his band.
