NEW: TWO JUNE FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS – We are having two Face-to-Face meetings in June. Our regular Face-to-Face meeting will continue on the 2nd Sunday of the month, June 11, 2023, at Kojak’s Fine Foods, 1912 W 18th St., Houston TX 77008. The doors open at 1:30PM and the meeting starts at 2:00PM.
We are starting an additional Face-to-Face meeting in Galveston and surrounding counties for members who wish to attend that location on the 2nd Monday of each month starting on June 12, 2023 at 7:00PM at the Huli Huli Hut (Behind the White Door), 310 19th St., Galveston, TX 77550.
Members are welcome to attend either or both meetings, if they wish to do so. You may perform your song live or bring a recording. The guidelines and timelines for presenting songs, etc., remains the same for both meetings. Only members who are current in their annual dues may present one song per month. Members who bring a song to the face-to-face meeting for commenting, should provide 30 copies of the lyric sheets to be passed out to the attending members. Songs can be played live or with a recording. Note, if you bring in a song that has already been posted to the website, it must be the same song you bring to the Face-to-Face meeting. You cannot bring in a different song during the month. If you are planning to upload your song in the June Song of the Month Contest, you must do so by Tuesday night, June 13, 2023.
Thank you for your continued membership, support and participation in helping us be successful. If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible at contact@houstonsongwriters.net.
Sincerely,
Houston Songwriters Association
