Help us promote your Gigs on the Co-op Calendar:
The Co-op has created an Event Calendar to help you promote your Gigs. Check it out at www.ncsongwriters.org/calendar. To get your Gig on the calendar, just fill in the form at the bottom of the page. This calendar will be featured in each issue of Coop Scoops.
Let US help YOU:
Send us a copy of your press kit or give us the address to your website so that when we have an opportunity to produce a show featuring our members we will have some idea what you do. Often the venue owner wants a specific genre, etc., and in order for us to include you, we have to know what you do!
February Annual Meeting and Face-to-Face was a Blast:
Our annual co-op members meeting took place in February at Tyler’s in Carrboro. Much was accomplished and a good time was had by all. Thanks to Patricia Franklin for making the arrangements AND a special thank you to Dwight Sullivan, our departing coordinator, for all the hard work he has given the Co-Op! I doubt many of us know just how much he has done for us as songwriters and musicians.
Strut Your Stuff on the Radio:
As you may have heard, the Co-op has a relationship with WCOM-FM Community Radio in Carrboro/Chapel Hill. Our show is called "Licks and Lyrics" and is hosted by Louise Bendall, Chuck Champion, and Kirk Ridge, rotating DJs each Saturday afternoon from 3-4. The show features music and guest appearances by local songwriters. If you have a song you want considered for play on the show, send a CD to:
Kirk Ridge Measurement, Inc. 423 Morris Street Durham, NC 27701 If you are interested in being a guest, email Louise, Chuck, or Kirk. It's great fun being on the radio! Co-op Songwriter Showcase and Live Radio Broadcast:
NC Songwriters Co-op members John Saylor, Penne Sandbeck, Chuck Champion and Louise Bendall will be the featured performers at the Lilac Lounge on April 15th.

It's a new year; time for a fresh start. Over the next couple of months you'll notice a new logo and some sprucing up of the website.
Over the next year, we will be producing a web banner that members may use on their own sites to associate with the Co-op, along with guitar case/bumper stickers, and a new stage banner for use at Co-op sponsored events. The new logo will be revealed at the Annual Membership Meeting & Open Mic on February 21. Live Music Lab has moved to a new location:
Live Music Lab has moved to Loco Lu’s, 5210 Holly ridge Dr., Raleigh. Live Music Lab is held on Sunday afternoons from 2-5 PM. Check the Co-op Website for dates and to get directions. http://ncsongwriters.org/livemusiclab
