So Cool!

Last Friday David prepared two of the songs off the upcoming album and went and played them at a local songwriters' workshop at a recording studio in Aurora. (For those of you who are curious, he chose Testify and Sound.) Apparently this is something the studio does monthly. The other musicians rate the performances, focusing on the songwriting, and give constructive criticism and/or praise. The performer with the highest marks gets to return the next month as the featured artist.

And guess what? We received a response today. Check it out, check it out:

"David:

Congratulations! I’ve processed all the artist feedback from last week’s Songwriters’ Showcase, and you were the favorite. We’re thrilled to invite you back next month – as our Featured Artist.

(More stuff that I cut out...)

Could you respond to this e-mail as soon as possible and confirm that you’ll be able to play at the next Showcase on Tuesday, June 2?

Thanks – and congratulations again!

Benjie"

How cool is that? He won! The band is already featured online, too.

The studio is called Back Third Audio. Check out the blog to find out some of the fun stuff they do with local musicians.

And for fun, if you haven't already seen this on the DYB blog, here's a teaser of the album art DiscMakers is working on. Fun stuff!
