Nashville Star has started auditioning for its fourth season in cities across the United States.

Auditions began on Oct. 21 in Los Angeles and will run through December.

The USA Network’s Nashville Star is a country singing competition, much like American Idol.

“Nashville Star works because it showcases the best untapped musical talent on television,” said Jeff Wachtel, USA’s executive vice-president of original programming. “One thing we’ve learned over the past three seasons is that there’s an incredible pool of talented performers whose voices have yet to be heard.”

Many artists have turned into household names after winning the singing competition, including Canada’s George Canyon who was a runner-up on the show and walked away with more Canadian Country Music Awards at this years show than any other artist.

The Nashville Star winner receives a recording contract.

The fourth season is scheduled to premiere in March.
