The Early Show's "Singing Family Face Off" competition began last fall, when we asked viewers to send in tapes of their family bands performing original songs. We got a bunch of entries, and narrowed it down to six finalists.
Last week and Monday, features reporter and weather anchor Dave Price went around the country, knocking on the doors of the six families who made it into the finals, surprising each one live on national TV!
The first clash of finalists came Wednesday. On the next two Wednesdays, the other four families will compete, facing off two at a time.
In each Face Off, you'll get to vote for your favorite by going to our Web site.
The three bands who win their face offs will compete against each other for the right to go one-on-one in our grand finale four weeks from now. And the winning family will receive a CBS Records contract.
