Brendan and Val will be among the songwriters pioneering a new concert series, “Sagebrush Valentine,” next Wednesday, September 10, at the Zipper Theatre in NYC.
From the Sagebrush Valentine Myspace page: “What began as a game played religiously in living rooms by Nathan, Chris, and Maddy has become a gift they want to give to you. The Valentine plays like this: Six brave songwriters get together and pick a song title out of a hatful of audience-generated suggestions. They take a breath and/or a shot, and go off for one hour (!) to write that song. A few days later, the results are presented live-on-stage, along with a peek into the canon of each talented artist. Come to the Zipper to hear six new songs by six great songwriters, all variations on a theme chosen by you! Go to www.thezipperfactory.com for tickets and to submit your amazing song title idea…”
Each songwriter or writing team will present their brand-new song, plus 2 additional songs of their choice. Hope you can join us! Showtime is 9:30 PM on Wednesday, September 10, and the other fearless participants are: Maddy Wyatt, Chris Miller, Nathan Tysen, Adam Shenk and Daniel Zaitchik. (Maddy has kindly given us the first time slot, so that as parents of a very early-rising toddler we’ll be able to head home if we turn into pumpkins…but we’ll stay as long as we can to hear the other songwriters.)
