Karaoke Contest to Determine Brett Eldredge Opening Act

One lucky karaoke star will open for country music star Brett Eldredge during this year's Illinois State Fair.

The State Fair Karaoke Contest challenges young singers around the state to show off their singing chops.

Nine regional county fairs around the state will host qualifying rounds in July. First and second place winners will then compete head-to-head at the Illinois State Fair the next month. The winner will sing two songs later that same day prior to the Brett Eldredge concert.
