Time to say goodbye to the hot weather and hello to Song Finishers again. We will restart this Tuesday 9/23 at 7:00PM at The Well in Pineville.
I’ve talked to several people anxiously awaiting the restart of our co-writing sessions. People who liked or experimental Song Finisher’s Song Circle have also commented favorably about that format. So… How about this – we do the traditional Song Finishers co-writing from 7 to 9 PM then gather to play the new songs to each other – AND also share some of our favorites from the past.
This may be the best of both worlds. People who want to co-write and or find someone to set their lyrics to music or find lyrics for their music will have the usual opportunity to make contacts and create new songs that would not have been done without Song Finishers. AND folks who have some favorite songs from the past can also spend an hour or so swapping songs and getting comments. See box below about our May experiment.
So you can come out at 7:00 for the whole experience or stop by at 8 or 9 PM to swap songs. As always, we’re trying to find the right combination to serve the most songwriters the best way possible.
Your feedback is encouraged and welcome. See you Tuesday!
