Having performed near every sunday now for much of the last year, supporting Mike Dees’ songwriters’ night, I have been able to spend some enjoyable evenings playing songs and meeting fellow artists...as the times continue to make things financially difficult on the small business owner, I would like to commend frank james on his stedfast support of the community of local artists and commitment to original music... In the spirit of helping those who help others, Id like to encourage every music lover and java slammer to pay The Edge (Overton Park and Watkins) a visit, drink some coffee and relax in a casual environment no far off the beaten path in midtown...in an effort to drum up some business, Lee of SIMON, my friend and drummer Jason Vawter, and I have decided to host a series of invitational memphis songwriter showcases Sunday afternoons 5pm til 9pm, featuring a few familiar faces and weekly special guests...come join us kill some weekend hours early enough to still get a night’s sleep before the Monday grind...this will segue into the open songwriters’ night at 9pm Sunday night performances will be webcast @ http://memphisedge.tv/ for those who cant make it to the Edge, and each Sunday’s performance will be archived on the site for you all to be able to catch up later... hoping to see you! thx j
