This month, Flight of the Squawkatiel will be holding a little tournament in honor of March Madness called "Squawkatiel Madness", where 64 artists who have been featured during the new music hour on Flight of the Squawkatiel will go head to head and you will decide who moves on. The winner will get an hour of my March 30th show dedicated to their music, any side projects if applicable, similar artists, artists who are on the same record label or they have toured with, etc.
