February Album Writing Month is just around the corner. We’ll be participating again this year. Like the first FAWM, this year people will have an extra day, and so the goal this year is to write 14 and 1/2 songs in 29 Days… the half song being a collaboration with another songwriter.

This is going to be good!

In preparation for FAWM, some Midwest songwriters are getting together the weekend before FAWM starts to play a few old FAWM songs, hang out, and get our brains in gear for the creative frenzy that is FAWM.

So, on January 25th we’ll be at Dunn Brothers in White Bear Lake - one of our favorite venues - to play tunes with our fellow FAWMERS in the FAWM Midwest Songwriters Jam. Currently appearing on the list are Autoclamp, G-Slab, Us as the Eric Distad Trio, and Matt Pierce. (If the line up looks familiar, it’s because all these acts were at the last FAWM Showcase in July as well.) If you have a free night and you like original music, this is the place to be!

If you are a songwriter or know one, please send them our way, either by bringing them to the FAWM Jam or by sending them to www.fawm.org. They’ll thank you for it!
