This Saturday, 20 local musicians will come together at the Capital City Songwriters Collective at Spanish Moon.
At this unique event, the musicians—who were handpicked from area bands—will be split into four groups to write and arrange two or three completely original songs. Later that night, the groups will perform the songs on stage.
The songs can be in any style or genre and can range from one to eight minutes, but they must use words and lyrics provided by Lee Magnet High School’s Poetry Slam team.
