. . .the Monday Night Songwriters' Showcase this Monday evening upstairs at Brewer's Alley in Frederick MD at the embryonic grand. Show starts at 7:30.
The featured performer this Monday (February 17) is Laura Baron. Song poet Laura is known for her powerful vocals and passionate delivery. She fills the venue with the emotion of her lyrics and the beauty of her voice. People find inspiration and a lightness of spirit in her songs of renewal, second chances and hope.
Laura performs and composes contemporary folk, blues and jazz. She often collaborates with other musicians on stage including co-writer and DC bassist Pat Quinn.
A multi-award winning singer songwriter, Laura is the recipient of three Gold Awards from the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Her most recent CD, Scenes From The Avenue features many of her award winning songs. In 2008 she won Gold in the Jazz/Blues category for her song, Kindness Don't Rest Easy, which she performed at the Smithsonian Baird Auditorium as a part of the SAW/BWI songwriters showcase.
Monday Night Songwriters' Showcase (now in its ninth year!) is held on Monday evenings upstairs at Brewer's Alley, 124 N. Market St., in beautiful downtown Frederick, MD (except all but the first Monday of Decmber). The program starts at 7:30 pm with a piano prelude, followed by three or four songwriters doing three songs each (lots of variety). The featured songwriter for the evening goes on around 9 pm for around an hour, followed by two or three more three-song performers. Somewhere in the mix we may throw in some poetry. MCs are Ron Goad, Todd C. Walker and Tomy Wright, frequently interrupted by Rod Deacey. Tips are collected for the featured performer. You are encouraged to be generous if possible. Featured songwriters are a mix of national and regional touring performers, with many award winners from all genres.
