Introducing the United States of Song 2020 Theme and location...
USoS 2020 will take place in Kansas City, Missouri! Although St. Louis (home of the Gateway Arch) was another option, we decided to honor the home city of last year's winner Yes You Are by going to their city instead. Kansas City lies on the border of Missouri and Kansas, and you may not know this, but more people live on the Missouri side than the Kansas side!
Aside from its origins in jazz music and being a hub for fantastic barbecue, it is also known as the City of Fountains. It's also home to the world's tallest water slide, the Verruckt.
The contest's theme is Show Me The Music! primarily because Missouri is known as the "Show Me State" and because this is a music contest but in some ways also a "presentation" of music from the states and territories of USA. The eclectic colors and guitar reflect a vibrant and exciting community in Kansas City as well as in this contest. We could continue on about this edition being our fifth anniversary, or the contest's name change, but you don't really care about those things... Just show the music!(Like what wackadoodle song Nebraska will send this year @_@)
What do you think? Are you digging the vibrant colors? The Semifinal and Final Round designs will be based around the guitar logo, the theme, and the variety of colors presented here, including fuchsia, aqua, violet, and yellow.
--------
I went to Kansas City was about a year ago, driving through it in January 2019 on my way back to California. However I didn't really get the chance to stop. It looks like a fun city, and I definitely need to go to the famous Arrowhead Stadium. Yes, I will try to make it to Missouri!
This post also serves as a reminder: keep sending song suggestions! There are several states left that don't have anything yet (Wisconsin, Washington, New Jersey, even Missouri itself!) so there's certainly opportunities to be a front-runner for several states. SUBMIT A SONG HERE!
The deadline remains January 26th. Good luck!
