SENECA NIAGARA RESORT & CASINO LOOKING FOR NEXT BUFFALO IDOL Open auditions scheduled for November 4 NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. – Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino and Kiss 98.5 are putting out the call to let Western New York’s aspiring superstars shine. The area’s premier entertainment resort and one of the region’s most popular radio stations are partnering up to host this year’s Buffalo Idol singing competition, with open auditions scheduled for Wednesday, November 4. Registration for the open auditions will take place from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. outside the Bear’s Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. Contestants will then perform on the Bear’s Den stage, in the order in which they registered, between 7:00-9:00 p.m. Each contestant will have one minute to perform for a selection panel of Entercom radio personnel and Seneca Gaming Corporation personnel. Qualified performers will be asked to come back to compete in one of five qualifying rounds, each with a $500 prize, leading up to the final round on December 16, when the newest Buffalo Idol will be crowned, earning a $3,000 grand prize and a possible option to perform live at Stir, Seneca Niagara’s high-energy feature bar, within the next six months. “We want to hear Western New York’s best voices and find the area’s next singing sensation,” said Tonia Lewis, executive director of advertising & communications, Seneca Gaming Corporation.
