Come out for the Uniter Fiver!

Since 2009, The Uniter has compiled a list of the five local musical acts that you believe to be the most intriguing to watch in the forthcoming year. This list has included Royal Canoe, The Lytics, Taylor Janzen, The 1221, Kakagi, The Middle Coast and more.

Do you think you are one of the five local acts to watch in 2020?

Send your application to [email protected] before Dec. 21 at noon, with “Uniter Fiver” as the subject line. 

You will need to send us:
• Your band’s bio
• Names of all band members (first and last)
• A photo of your band
• The date of your first show/ performance as a band
• An MP3 of the song you’d like to showcase
• A link to this same song on SoundCloud

It can be hard to get your sounds out there, and to choose from all of Winnipeg’s talented musicians, so we ask for your help: instead of us deciding who the best of the bunch are, we let you do the voting.

Acts that meet the criteria will be added to uniter.ca/uniterfiver in early January. An industry panel will select the top five, and then Uniter readers get to decide which of these five is their favourite. 

Voting will take place online starting on Jan. 2 and will end on Jan. 23 at noon.
