Week 1 Highlights 2022

 

We just love the music that has been submitted.  Local voices and new friends, here are four that caught our attention and you should give a listen.  Maybe look them up and subscribe, stream or buy their music.

1) To the Good - Songa author Sherry Friedel

Here's a post from a finalist back in 2020 from Chippewa Falls area.  

2) Career Advice - Mike Ward

We might want to warn you that this might have language that could offend some, but we think it's hilarious, and it didn't take long for our Sponsor "Dave's Basement Tracks" to buy it on Bandcamp and mention he'll be sharing it in a future blog about work songs.  Mike is a new voice to us from the Detroit area.

3) Wasting Time - Karyn Ann 

Another new voice to us from Portland OR, Karyn blends many familiar ideas into a beautiful song, and another buy for DBT in Bandcamp.

4) The Sun It Rises - Anima

Etheral sounds of a wonderful regional group with beautiful harmonies. 

The sun it rises every morning

And somehow I still adore you

Even when I am with another

We hope you enjoyed a taste of the submission.  Contest runs all of May; rules and submission link is HERE https://greatriverfolkfest.org/Songwriting.html
