Out of the Rut

The Pitch Hit Journey with Dario and Raul

X is back again with Raul the Rocker, but this time he's brought a friend! Dario joins them this week to talk about Pitch Hit. Pitch Hit was an American Idol style music competition hosted in Wriglyville at a sports bar called Home Away from Home. This competition took place over 12-weeks during one of the hardest times to the year to be outside in Chicago. WINTER! Raul - who would go onto win the event - and Dario recap what the journey was like as the creator and a performer, the music skill it takes to play in a live-band music competition, and all the Ruts that led them there. So grab your lucky mic, dress to impress, and get your score cards ready while X, Dario, and Raul discuss what it takes to launch a Sing Competition.
