Durham Region Songwriter Showcase Project

Project Status...

Locations - Done

Sponsors - In Progress

Acts - Pending

I am writing you this message in hopes some of you may consider being a sponsor for the Durham Songwriter Showcase I am trying to arrange. Alternatively, you may know someone who may be interested.

I am trying to arrange showcases in the Durham Region where songwriters can showcase their original material. Being involved in music and it's associations, there has never been a real great resource for songwriters.

The showcases will be held at local Legions on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. This will be a two fold benefit, as not only will songwriters get their music heard, but the events will help raise funds for local Legion.

We will be looking for 1 to 3 piece acts to play their original music for 30 to 60 minutes. Each showcase will have 4 to 6 acts. All acts must be acoustic, with the exception of bass guitar and keyboards. We are looking for acts that play in the style of country, rock, folk, and such. Basically, music that will best suit the venue. Each act will be paid an honourarium of $50 to $75, depending on the number of acts. Sound will be provided, so basically all they have to do is plug in and play. Acts will also be allowed to bring any CD`s and such they may have available for sale.

As a sponsor of a showcase, you will be in every release sent out, and on every promotional material sent out. In addition, a sign at the showcase saying your are the sponsor, will be there as well, in addition, that the emcee, me, will mention before and after every act. The cost of sponsorship is $400 per showcase. This money will be used to pay the acts and promoting the event, as well as to help with the cost of sound.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you are interested in being a sponsor. Thanks for your time and consideration....
