Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcases @ The Dan

As you might be aware, every Wednesday night I run an Open Mic at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel in Adelaide from 8:30pm until Midnight.

I love running this event because it’s a great opportunity for anyone to get up and have a go and from time to time you find some great musical talent just waiting for a stage to perform on.

The performers list from week to week is a delightful mix of established musicians to first timers. No matter what the skill level, everyone gets along just fine.

As an extension to the Open Mic @ The Dan concept I have organized a series of gigs on the last Sunday of every month at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel starting July 27th called the Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcase (or S4 for short).

It starts at 7pm with a 1 hour set from yours truly then, from 8pm a special guest performer will showcase their songs with the evening finishing at 9pm.

The singer/songwriters showcasing their wares at S4 are as follows:

July 27
Joe Murphy

August 31
Combee!

September 28
Courtney Robb

October 26
SP and Sarah

November 30
Cal Williams Jr

I will be running a series of “Songwriter Spotlight” posts on these performers and doing what I can to promote S4 on Songwriting Zen.

If you’re living in Adelaide then be sure to get to the Daniel O’Connell Hotel (165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide) and support local songwriters.

If you live anywhere else I will make sure that audio and/or video of the showcases will be available on Songwriting Zen for you to check out.

Here is the press release I’ve put together for S4:

The Sunday Singer Songwriter Showcase (or S4 for short) is a monthly showcase presented by Orangutang Music, DNA Live Sound and the Daniel O’Connell Hotel hosted by award winning songwriter Corey Stewart.

It will commence on the last Sunday of July and finish on the last Sunday of November.

The showcase kicks off at 7pm at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel (165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide) with food and drink specials happening from 6pm so come on down and experience good food, great company, friendly staff, a warm fire and some wonderful music.

What more could you ask for on a late Sunday afternoon?

I reckon with the Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcases locked in your diary late Sunday afternoons never sounded so good.

Until next time, happy writing,
