Belmont Songwriters Guild

In case you didn't get the Facebook invite...this will be pretty cool - Casey

Type: Music/Arts - Concert
Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: Belmont Church-Koinonia Building

Jesus Loves You. A night of music on Valentine's Day. We figured this would be a good day to remind you.

The line up is as follows.
Adam Hill will be playing tunes from his upcoming album Smoke Trees, an eclectic mix of bluegrass, rock n roll and southern blue eyed soul.

The Lovespies play beautiful, quirky, folk songs about spaceships and time travel. It's all a metaphor for longing. Julie's voice is like Alabama twang mixed with Bjork and her guitar slinging hubby Rob is a classical gas.

Drinkwine is some stone cold Jesus Rock. Jeremy Drinkwine's singing to stadiums voice packs a punch with great songs and drop dead melodies.

Admission is free. A donation will be taken for the Romanian School for Worship and Arts.

Our first BSG meeting in 2010 will include a special guest, Godfrey Birtill, worship leader/writer from Kingsway Music U.K. In addition to hearing Godrey's thoughts on songwriting we will share new songs and talk about BSG plans. This year we hope to have a Fall and a Spring showcase as well as additional meetings specifically for song feedback and special topics like "How to setup your CD for sale on the Internet". Our first meeting is Thursday, February 18, 6-9pm at Asaph's Chamber on the Belmont Church campus. You can bring a brown-bag dinner if you like. I miss everyone and look forward to seeing both old and new friends.

For those of you who have not signed up to be a "fan" at the Belmont Songwriter's Guild page on Facebook, I encourage you to do so. You will get up to the minute info on BSG as well as hear music posted by BSG writers. In the meantime, I will continue to send emails out to this list and to new members who will not use Facebook. Please let me know if you want me to remove your name from this email list.

Happy songwriting.
Casey

Belmont Songwriters Guild members and friends,
Happy New Year! I hope you have all had a refreshing holiday with family and friends. I wanted to give you an exciting update on the Belmont Songwriters Guild.
Our own Julie Higgenbotham has setup a Facebook page for BSG...thank you Julie! This Facebook page will become the communications hub for BSG info, schedules, updates, and community. I will be loading it with info and our 2010 schedule in the next few days.
There will be no more BSG emails so please be sure to sign up on this Facebook page and check it for updates.
Here's a link to the BSG Facebook page.
I'm not sure my email list is comprehensive, so please spread the word about this new Facebook page to anyone you know who attends or is interested in this group.
Our next BSG meeting will be on February 18, 6-9 pm at Asaph's on the Belmont Church campus.
I hope you all are writing; it is food for the songwriter soul.
Hope & joy,
Casey McGinty

God is the Creator. All creativity is derived from Him. Thus, our creativity contains the essence of God. So, we can find Him through sharing our creativity...if we listen.

ATTENTION - NO BSG MEETING THIS THURSDAY (JULY 16) due to the event in the Belmont worship center. We will meet next Thursday, July 23 at 6:00 pm for a discussion followed by songs. More details to follow. Sorry for the late notice. Please tell anyone you know from BSG. - Casey

Update:
Our next BSG meeting is Thursday, July 23, 6:00pm at Asaph's on the Belmont Church campus. I want to continue our discussion from last meeting and get some more song-share time in. Feel free to bring your brown-bag dinner to eat. Our topic this week "What do I do with my music." We'll start song share at 7:30 and go to 9:00.

Songwriters,
I missed being with you at the last Belmont Songwriters Guild meeting but heard that you had a great time with Scott and Caryl Parker.
Our next Belmont Songwriters Guild meeting will be Thursday night, June 18, at 6:00pm at Asaph's on the Belmont Church campus.
Note the 6:00pm start time. Bring your own brown-bag dinner if you want to eat. We'll start our time together talking about, "Why Am I Writing Songs and What Do I Do With Them?". Even though the answers will be different for each person I know that it's important for us to dig into these kinds of questions.
Come prayerful and open hearted to hear from God. Hopefully, we'll also get some song sharing in.
I look forward to seeing you.
Casey
