JPR song "Fly" a grand prize winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest

My song "Fly" just won the grand prize in the country category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest! Check it out and listen to the song here.

"Fly" appears on my CD Humming My Way Back Home as a duet with country-pop singer Lisa Gentile.

Yee ha!

Words and Music series in the Post-Standard

I wanted to let you know that the Words and Music Songwriter Showcase is featured today (Friday, 9/5) in the Post-Standard, in an annual arts and culture section called The Mix. The author also put together a slideshow about the September 26 headliner, Donna Colton and the Troublemakers, that you can see here:

Donna Colton and the Troublemakers by Laura Massey

On September 20 I'm also taking the series for the first time to the Auburn Public Theater. That show features the dynamic duo of Dusty Pas'cal with Loren Barrigar. Check out the full schedule for the rest of 2008 below. I'm thrilled to be sharing the stage with so many great songwriters and musicians in this series.
