On With The Show . . .

 "Awesome!" says Mr. Ron Goad. "The show on Monday Nov 17 starts at 7:15 w/ Ray Jozwiak --also enjoy Adrienne Smith -- Linda Nelson -- and an extended set from Kipyn Martin."


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 7:15 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 8:30 pm or so for an extended set, followed by three more three-song performers. Somewhere in the mix we throw in some poetry from our resident poet John Holly and songs and/or poems by founder and local music promoter Rod Deacey. Our MCs are Ron Goad and Todd C. Walker. Our featured songwriters are a mix of national and regional touring performers, with many award winners from all genres.
