Songsalive! is coming to the North Coast!



Songsalive! in Los Angeles, New York, London and now
<http://www.songsalive.org/byronbay.html> Byron Bay (Australia).
Songsalive! is the worldwide, non-profit organization dedicated to
nurturing, supporting and promoting songwriters and composers. It is
run by songwriters for songwriters, with members receiving an abundance
of opportunities to perform, be heard, be supported, and be promoted
through a network of programs.



<http://www.songsalive.org/images/members/joyoung.jpg> Jo Young,
co-ordinator of the new <http://www.songsalive.org/byronbay.html> Byron
Bay chapter, discovered Songsalive! in February this year, after finding
out about the Sydney chapter's songwriting critique workshops while
surfing the net.



"When I first attended a Songsalive! workshop I had a few notebooks full
of songs I had written over the past 15 years, many of which no one had
ever heard. I wasn't doing anything with my music except singing nursery
rhymes to my son. Only a few months later I have recorded my first CD
"Angels in the Mud" which is receiving radio airplay across Australia,
had offers from two different publishers for one of my songs and reached
the semi finals of the UK songwriting competition. The opportunities
for collaboration and networking through Songsalive! have really
accelerated my music career."



Jo has just moved back to the local area from Sydney and is bringing the
Songsalive! experience to <http://www.songsalive.org/byronbay.html>
Byron Bay on Sunday 20th November at 7pm with the first song critique
workshop at The Studio @ The Buddha Bar, Byron Bay. Co-founder of
Songsalive!, Director of Operations (and Delta Goodrem's singing
teacher) Roxanne Kiely is coming to Byron Bay for the Songsalive! launch
and will also run a vocal workshop on the Sunday afternoon. Stephen
Kiely who hosts the Sydney song critique workshops, will be at the Byron
launch to get things started.



Song critique workshops are a monthly event where members can develop
collaborations, meet industry guests, showcase and workshop their music
for feedback in a professional and supportive environment. Workshops
often feature guest speakers representing all facets of the industry
from A&R, publishers, successful producers, CD production and
distribution execs and, of course, writers and composer who share their
ideas, tips & techniques on all aspects of the songwriting craft.



"At first I was really nervous about bringing my songs out of my
bedroom," says Jo Young "but the workshops were so friendly and
constructive that I could hardly wait until the next one to happen so I
could get feedback on another song. They are for everyone who writes
songs, not just for performers, so dust off that notebook and get
yourself along."
