Cliff Prowse is a finalist to win $20k and the title of Wahl Man of the Year 

LITTLE ROCK, AR  – Men’s grooming leader Wahl is hosting the first-ever ‘Most Talented Beard in America’ contest. They asked guys with beards to submit a video of them showing off their talents. Cliff Prowse of Little Rock, AR has been named a top 10 finalist. Finalists were chosen based on talent, creativity, and their beards. 

Cliff had a family member suggest the contest a day before the deadline. In less than 4 hours, in his home studio, Cliff wrote, arranged, played 8 instruments, recorded, and produced a music video titled Beard Groovin’. 

“My entry video shows that music is my life. Besides being able to play multiple instruments, I also produce, compose and sing in an internationally touring musical duo with my wife.” 

“I’ve made it to the top 10 list, and now the popular vote will decide the winners. Especially this year with the loss of income we’ve all experienced in the entertainment industry due to COVID, I could really use your vote!” 

Voting begins Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. CST and is open until Dec. 9. To learn more, go to www.voteformybeard.com

First place wins $20,000 and the coveted title of ‘Wahl Man of the Year.’ The 2nd place winner takes home $10,000 and 3rd place scores $5,000. The winners will be announced on or around Dec. 15, 2020.

Our 2nd annual Yadaloo Music and Arts Festival is going to be different this year due to COVID-19 directives. While the world is facing a global pandemic, we are adapting to provide a safe and unique experience for festival lovers this year. 

Winning Best New Festival of the Year with the Arkansas Festival & Events Association, our first year was incredible! We gathered on the banks of the Arkansas River in North Little Rock listening to Country & Americana music and enjoying arts vendors, great food and fun for all ages on a beautiful Fall day in September. 

Now, more than ever, it’s important that we safely come together as we work with our partners CWP Productions and offer a live virtual experience for viewers anywhere in the world. 

Join us online Saturday, September 19 from 4-10pm to hear some of Country music's most talented local, regional and national acts. 

A portion of our proceeds go to our nonprofit partner, City Connections. With half a million meals already committed to needy Arkansas families during this time, with your help, we can be the reason they get to their goal of one million meals this year. 

We can’t thank you enough for the support we’ve had in our first year! Together, let’s make year 2 special.
