Cheryl Wheeler fans & folk songwriters, here is some info from a music list I am on:
The Intermountain Acoustic Music Association (IAMA) here in Salt Lake City is putting on, in conjunciton with the local university, a Singer-Songwriter Workshop. Here's how it works: interested folks submit their original song, plust a $10 check, postmarked by Jan. 15. A panel of judges will select five finalists. All finalists will then be able to workshop their song with Philo-recording-artist-and-very-cool songwriter Cheryl Wheeler, who'll work directly with those five on refining their songs. (Folks can also purchase tickets to watch the process, but only those five finalists will be working with Cheryl.) These five will also get to open for Cheryl at her concert the next night. Interested? Here are all the details. The workshop is happening on Friday, March 22; the concert is the following night, Saturday, March 23. All events will be happening on the University of Utah campus here in Salt Lake City. You can enter as many songs as you'd like; each should be a CD or rewound cassette with a check for $10 for each song. CDs/cassettes should be marked with your name, address, phone number, and email if available. Submissions are supposed to show the judges how you would sound live, so preference will be given to submissions featuring just voice and instrument. Submissions should be sent to LeValley Showcase, c/o IAMA, PO Box 2187, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110-2187. Checks should be made out to IAMA. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
