CLICK HERE TO CAST YOUR VOTES FOR THE FIRST ROUND
You have through Tuesday, March 12 to vote, and then voting for Round 2 will begin on Wednesday, March 13. Please only vote once.
If you are unfamiliar with any of the artists listed, I have compiled a Soundcloud set where you can hear songs from all the artists who are in the running, in order they appear on the bracket.
