February 11, 2008 - If you've ever thought you could sing as well as the people you saw on Nashville Star, now's your chance to prove it. NBC will be holding casting calls for its sixth season of the hit show in several cities. For the first time in the series' history, the producers are looking for duets and trios as well as solo artists in their search. Do you have what it takes?

Here are the upcoming cities that will be holding casting calls:

Wednesday, February 13

Charlotte, North Carolina
Coyote Joe's
7 p.m. -11 p.m.
4621 Wilkinson Blvd.

Kansas City, Missouri
The Beaumont Club
4 pm - 9 p.m.

Sunday, February 17

Tallahassee, Florida

How it works:

1. Those auditioning will perform a song off the approved song list.
2. A select few of the most talented will be asked to perform additional material for the producers. Applicants should be prepared to sing two cover songs from the approved song list or one song off the list and one original song.

More information can be found at NashvilleStarCasting.com.

Auditions are open to men and women, solo artists, duets and singing trios, ages 16 and over (as of Marcy 29, 2008), who think they have what it takes to become the next "Nashville Star." The winner will receive a recording contract with a major record label.

Nashville Star will air on NBC this year, and the two-hour season premiere is scheduled for this Summer, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the best and worst talent vying for a spot in this year's competition.
