The Gold Coast Arts Center, Love Revolution Org., and The Rick Eberle Agency give ambitious young artists an opportunity, presenting the annual Your Big Break showcase held at The Gold Coast Arts Center’s Weinstein Playhouse, where accomplished veteran music business professionals donate their time and resources to help identify and assist a new wave of aspiring stars to take them along the next steps in their professional musical journey. At the last finals event in May, Your Big Break crowned its seventh winner: Arizona Lindsey of Lindenhurst. “With her sweet-sounding voice, passionate vocal performance, and heartfelt lyrics, Arizona has been captivating the audience’s attention worldwide.
