Welcome to another edition ofĀ Songsalive!Ā SongnotesĀ >Ā our newsletter for everything you need to know about the craft and business of songwriting. We wanted to check in on our Songsalive! Nation to see how you are doing during these unprecedented times. Since our inception in 1997 we have always been committed to offering a global stage and support space for our songwriters. Virtual/Online community has been a strong part of what we do, and we want to continue to do this in a big way.
In an effort to support the current climate of social distancing and our community support the reduction of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made a decision to cancel any in-person events for the remainder of March and into April.
Instead we are expanding our ways to bring us all together through our virtual programs and platforms.

A scary spring and a heavy rain didn't stop people from coming out to Sam Ash Music in Westminster, California for the March 2020 Songsalive! Orange County Monthly Songwriter Showcase.Ā
And good thing too! We welcomed back local favoriteĀ GilĀ haĀ (Gil Hager), along withĀ BillĀ LeustigĀ -- a new voice on our stage! Gil was up first, ably assisted by multi-instrumentalist "AC" Chavan. The two of them mostly went the mellow route this time, but Gil's famous bluesy growl was there in full force, even on some of his prettiest songs. Bill Leustig was up next, and right from his first strum he turned up the energy! Bill has a terrific way of writing songs that immediately bring to mind "old timey" music, while still having a right-off-today's-radio feel to them. The crowd was enamored. Ā
