I'm just curious to see what it entails. We've been contacted and I want to get my ducks in a row to see if it's something RGA would like to do. Any knowledge to impart on a sista?

I've emceed this event the past two years, but due to other obligations cannot do so this year.
It's been a pretty good event the first two years, and usually there are decent crowds there to see you perform. As Robert's email to Kayla outlines, there are a series of preliminary nights/rounds, and those winners go on to the semifinals, and those winners to the finals. Single votes per audience members determine the winners each week (one ballot per person); it can be a little bit of a popularity contest, but in each of the first two years, non-local acts have made the finals, so if you can impress the crowd, they will vote for you. (This is why two winners from each week advance, so there is more of a chance for the unknown performers to advance as well.)
The winner of the whole thing gets a guest appearance on the "Homegrown Rocker" as part of the prize package. 2nd Street won the first two years.
As I see it, it's chance to expand your fan base, network with other musicians, and possibly break into a new area and venue. At least per my experience, it has been a positive event.
