Songwriter Night at the Galley in Marietta last night

I stayed for the full line up of songwriters last night at the Galley in Marietta- somewhere around 14 songwriters? I enjoyed sharing a table with Micheal Beardmore from Marietta, and then enjoyed his songs late in the show. Todd Burge and Joseph Henry "duet-ed" on Todd's songs, and Joseph also joined RJ Crowdery on hers. Todd said she won for songwriting at the Kerrville Festival. Joseph's keyboard playing is very solid, and his own songs are ear-catching. Todd can pick three songs out of his repetoire and always make them classy and well-presented.
You had to feel a little sorry for those last two-three performers late into the evening, and "the luck of the draw" to play after 3-4 hours of music. They put a lot of spirit into it, and clearly enjoyed having a forum for performing. Check out Todd's www.songwriternight.com website for info on upcoming events still this summer. You can link to podcasts of the radio shows, too.
