Songwriter.ie 2007 Showcase
The 4th Annual Irish Midlands Songwriter Showcase
Sunday, April 29th, at the Palace Loft in Athlone
Now in its fourth year, the annual songwriter.ie Midland Songwriter Showcase will present 2007's talented lineup of original artists in Athlone's Palace Loft on Sunday, April 29th at 9pm.
The five songwriters playing live this year are Agitated Radio Pilot (Dave Colohan) from Ballymahon, Jimi Cullen from Gorey, Declan Finneran from Athlone, Fiachra Milner from Mullingar and Martin Staunton from Ballinasloe. Interview mp3s of the songwriters talking about how they write their material are now available for free under the artist profiles at www.songwriter.ie.
The songwriter showcase is unique in that it's not just a live concert, but a live recording session. The intent is to allow artists the opportunity to strip away augmented performance and instrumentation to share their original material in an intimate, acoustic setting. Unlike a recording studio where performers are left to conjure a relationship with a potential listener, the showcase gives these talented people live attendants as they revisit their compositions.
At the songwriter showcase, audience members have the unique opportunity to attend the creation of a studio album in the making - who knows, you may just hear yourself on the CD when it's released later this year.
Songwriter.ie has been producing its annual showcase in Athlone and releasing live albums of the evening for the last three years. For more information, please visit www.songwriter.ie or email info@songwriter.ie
