this Thursday night (March 8), and organisers say they&#8217;ll be something to see.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have had an amazing roll up of extraordinary talent from around the region,&#8221; compere Michael Monk said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve also seen an eclectic mix of genres and styles, ranging from Hip Hop MCs, acoustic folk\/punk fusion, rock guitarists, pub rockers, country artists, and amazing a capella vocalists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All our talent were well supported by friends and family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael said the competition had also been a great opportunity for entrants to network with other musicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From my perspective, this competition has served a number of purposes,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has encouraged local aspiring artists out of the bedroom and onto the stage, and it&#8217;s also given the management at The Com Pub a chance to take a look at performers that we might like to offer some gigs to, moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The finals will be held in the beer garden of Kingaroy&#8217;s Commercial Hotel from 7:00pm, and this Thursday&#8217;s winners will be chosen by peoples choice and by a judges decision.<\/p>\n<p>Two acts from the finals night will be selected to join in this coming Saturday night to play support to Olivia Ruth (2012 Big Break Winner and a crowd favourite) along with her band at the hotel&#8217;s &#8220;Wine and Food&#8221; after party, which will start around 8:00pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The line up for the Big Break finals is:
