We have seen hundreds of Tampa Bay Musicians/Songwriters through our showcases in the past six years and lately the attendance has been lighter than usual. Many local performers got their first stage experience with us and many of us have made contacts and friends who we might not other wise met. Please come out and support the chapter who consistantly works hard to give you a forum to perform your material and meet and network with some of the best songwriters and artisist in the area. Bring a friend and or pass this information along to someone who it might interest. Thanks....
