DSA Meeting Tuesday, July 13 2010 6:30-9:30

BEST SONGS OF THE MEETING WINNERS PANEL DISCUSSION

Songwriters who have won the monthly meeting song critique talk about how to write and record a winner. They will also be playing some of their winning songs. Panel facilitator, Stephen Blackwell, has been a song critique winner.

We will also announce the winning song and songwriter of the year 2009.
Songwriters of the Year and Song of the Year will be announced at our July 13th meeting.

Our Song of the Year judge this year is Terri Jo Box
Box was blessed with 3 top 10 singles on the Christian Country Charts, nominated for 1999 Female Vocalist of the Year and her single "Faith" was voted one of the top 15 Songs of the Year in 2000. With a dream of still "making it" in the Country world, she loaded up the U-haul and left Nacogdoches, Texas for Music City. TJ has been focusing primarily on her writing in the last couple of years..."its such a rush to finish one...they're all my favorites" She still has a dual passion for writing the song and then singing it to see how the audience reacts. She also books and hosts two weekly singer/songwriter nights, McGuinness Girls Night on Monday nights, at Dan McGuinness right on music row and Tuesday nights at the "The Rusty Nail" in Hermitage. http://www.myspace.com/terrijobox
