We are sponsoring the Wintersong Songwriter Workshop and Concert at the Barking Legs Theater this Saturday, February 20th. It’s a great opportunity for aspiring songwriters to spend a full day working with experts in their field. Then, the whole day wraps up with a nice concert at the end, so the rest of us can come enjoy the music of these songwriters! We hope to see you there!
