As Rod puts it: "Monday Night Songwriters' Showcase (now in its seventh year!) is held every Monday evening upstairs at Brewer's Alley, 124 N. Market St., in beautiful downtown Frederick, MD. The program starts at 7:30 pm with a piano prelude, followed by three or four songwriters doing three songs each (so you can't get bored). The featured songwriter for the evening goes on around 9 pm for 45 minutes, followed by three more three-song performers. Somewhere in the mix we throw in some poetry from our resident poet, John Holly. Our MCs are Ron Goad, Todd C. Walker and Tomy Wright, frequently interrupted by Rod Deacey on sound. Most of you know all this.... Our shows are FREE -- we collect tips for the featured songwriter, but there is no door charge, so come and support LIVE MUSIC!
Our featured songwriters are a mix of national and regional touring performers, with many award winners from all genres. If you would like a calendar for the next six months of 2011, please e-mail me back and I'll send you one. For information about playing a three-song spot, contact Ron Goad: MisterGoad@aol.com. For info on featuring, contact me, Rod Deacey: roddc@xecu.net
