For the second year in a row, TouchTunes Interactive Entertainment Network has partnered with US Air Guitar to sponsor the 2008 US Air Guitar Championships. TouchTunes is the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment network, providing digital jukebox systems to over 30,000 bars, clubs, restaurants, and entertainment centers in North America.
TouchTunes invented the first digital jukebox and now leads the way with an unsurpassed music library of over 2 million songs, from air guitar favorites to classic and new songs in virtually every genre. And TouchTunes systems are easy and fun to use whether you're achieving “airness” on stage or just hanging with friends.
In 2007, TouchTunes supplied an interactive digital jukebox to each US Air Guitar competition venue so attendees could search through hundreds of thousands of songs and play their favorite hits, including songs from the official US Air Guitar playlist. This year, TouchTunes will bring even more music and fun to the competition. There will be special promotions for myTouchTunes.com™ - a unique social network where you can build playlists, play them at your favorite TouchTunes location, and even share them across the network. All myTouchTunes members - current or new -- can enter a sweepstakes to win a free trip to San Francisco for the National US Air Guitar finals in August.
US Air Guitar is proud to enter our 6th anniversary with more cities, more air guitarists, more fans and more airness than any year in our history.
Presented by TouchTunes, the 2008 tour will bring regional competition to 21 cities nationwide.
