Lawrence Song Writers Circle
In co-operation with the Americana Music Academy, we're starting a song writers' circle. Each session will be on the first Saturday of every month, beginning Dec. 6 at 7:00 PM There will be two sets. The first will feature brand new songs, written within the last thirty days previous to the current Song Writers' Circle. This set will be video taped and the videos will be posted at www.songpull.com After everyone has had a chance to perform the latest song, we'll spend the rest of the evening sharing older original songs. Bring your acoustic instrument and a brand new song.
Need a little help in the creative department? Below are some ideas for new songs if you're stuck.
