From press release:

Kollaboration Acoustic 5 differentiates itself from other shows in the Kollaboration Movement by focusing on artists that perform utilizing only their “acoustic” assets, such as vocals and various non-electrical instruments. For the talent show portion of this year’s production, 9 talented acts were selected through an intense and competitive round of auditions back in March.

The selected artists range from veteran performers who have already established sizable internet and regional followings, to newer artists looking to utilize Kollaboration Acoustic 5 as a springboard to introduce their talents to a brand new fan base. These selected artists will perform on stage for the audience and a panel of celebrity judges for the chance to win first prize and $1,000 in prize money.

This year’s competitors are: Alexa Yoshimoto (Singer-Songwriter), Chrizle Reyes (Singer-Songwriter), Ensemble Memo (Symphonic Group), Jason Yano (Singer-Songwriter), Lindsey Yung (Singer-Songwriter), The Mood Junkies (Acoustic Trio), Nessa Rica (Singer-Songwriter), Teesa (Singer-Songwriter), and Tranley (Singer-Songwriter).
