Join us in Nashville on July 8th to cheer on our SU friends for a free event at The Troubadour (2416 Music Valley Drive) as up-and-coming artist Maddye Trew sings songs penned by members Brad McKinney and Carey Latham during the live TV taping of "Jimmy Bowen & Friends."
- Welcome, July! If your summer schedule is unpredictable, remember to take advantage of the flexibility of booking Private Sessions with your favorite music business mentors. Here are 5 ways that personal connections with industry pros can improve your pitching success.
Deadline Approaching!
You still have until July 6th to submit your songs to the Golden Ticket Special Event pitch for the opportunity to be selected by multi-genre producer, songwriter, and artist Dylan Emmet for an opportunity to co-write a song that could land on his personal artist release! See details in the Pitch area.
Get Ready for The Big Reveal and Contender Countdown!
Everyone is welcome to attend The Big Reveal and Contender Countdown on Thursday, July 17th at 8pm ET to find out who wins the Golden Ticket Special Event Pitch. Dylan Emmet will be in the e-classroom to provide insight into the music industry, discuss his listening process, offer tips, and answer your questions. Then, in an exciting countdown of the Rising Star Contenders' songs, we will reveal the winner! Details in the Live Class Schedule.
Summertime and the Living is Easy.
It can be tough to stay in front of a computer when the sun is shining and flowers are in bloom. This month, create your ideal songwriting schedule! Book Private Sessions with publishers or coaches, submit songs for feedback, or join a song FDKBK class. Then take a walk or bike ride, let the ideas flow in, and let them out in a song.
General Registration Reminders:
Our mentors and pitch guests are available for Private Sessions by appointment only. You may have two active live songwriting feedback courses (FDBK) at once, but you can add a third if there is still an open spot 24 hours before the class starts. Keep an eye on the live songwriting course schedule in case someone cancels during the week, and a seat opens up. Find your favorite coach for song evaluations in the Activity area. New to SongU?
