Canadian prime time is getting another TV karaoke competition.
The CBC on Monday put out a casting call for musicians to appear on Cover Me Canada, where rock bands give their own interpretation of songs by legendary Canadian artists.
The reality show, to air this fall, will see selected musicians compete against one another on live TV for the votes of Canadians.
Four Canadian songs will be covered by the contestants: Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown, Bryan Adam’s Run To You, Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane, and Alannah Myles’ Black Velvet.
The winner of Cover Me Canada will win a $100,000 cash prize and a record deal with Universal Music Canada.
“CBC is providing a platform for the best emerging musicians from across the country to cover Canada’s greatest songs, and a chance for Canadians to rediscover the songs that we love and feel proud to call our own,” Kirstine Stewart, executive vice president of English services at CBC said in a statement.
