Congratulations to local boy, Cliff Hillis who has won the national (international?) Jingle “Be a Rock Star for a Day” contest for Chilis. Cliff is a local performer who has deep roots in Sussex County. His brother Roger (whom also plays bass occassionaly with Cliff) is a respected local reporter and Cliff has been playing locally for years.

“I entered this jingle contest for someone to do a new cover of the Chili’s baby-back rib jingle,” Hillis told WGMD in an early December interview. “And, as it turns out, the powers stuck me in the top ten finalists.”

The voting was held online on Chili’s myspace website. Hundreds of entries were sent in, 10 finals were selected and you voted to make Hillis “Rock Star for a Day”, in which he will be flown to LA. His Jingle will be heard in Chili’s commercials as well.

The official announcement from Chilis is set for January 8th, 2007.
