Guest Speaker Jamey Shannon

This month we are very pleased to have Jamey Shannon return again as our guest speaker! Jamey is a singer/songwriter, guitarist, music teacher, educator and choral director based in Mississippi. His topic will be "Chord Theory for the Songwriter", which I'm sure will be very informative and entertaining!


Also, be sure to get in your songs to be critiqued by industry pros Barbe McMillan and Joe Milton and considered for the 2023 Member Song Contest and Songwriter of the Year. Please Note: You must go to the Dallas Songwriters website (see link below) to enter your song, or you can play them live. When you go to the website look for "Forms" on the upper right-hand corner of the page then point to "Song Critiques" and the form will show up. You can type in the lyrics or cut & paste. For the song audio go to "Choose File" and load your audio file(s). You can pay online via the critique form, and the cost is $10 per song.
