NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OurStage.com, the innovative online social platform for discovering music, announces a new program geared to give emerging musicians the chance to advance their career on a national scale with a performance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live".  Kicking off this September, musicians across the US will compete in a monthly competition via OurStage.com to win the one-of-a-kind opportunity to perform their original song on the premier late night TV show.
