Songwriters wanted for new show
A new TV show is getting underway at the Charter TV Studios. The show’s focus will be on songwriting and a call is being sent out for songwriters who may wish to participate.
It is currently planned to film a dozen episodes of the upcoming new weekly show called Songwriter Showcase. Each show will have a songwriter guest who will be interviewed by alternating hosts, Nelson Hiller and Jim Sharpley. The guest will perform some selfpenned tunes and will talk about how the songs got to be written.
Discussions will address numerous subjects related to the business aspects of songwriting such as licensing, copyrights, co-writing and publishing.
To participate in this show as a songwriter guest, or to help with its production, contact the producer, Myrna Riquier at 860-455-9400 or natchaugmusic@gmail.com.
All shows will be produced in North Windham by volunteers who have completed the intern classes that the Community TV studio offers to area residents.
