I spent much of the last year getting to know the members of the San Diego Songwriters Guild Board and meeting many of Guild members at SDSG’s songwriter events. The Guild has proven to be a great way for me to not only learn more about the craft of songwriting and the music business, but to also network with other musicians and all types of people in the creative industries. SDSG’s 2014 events provided me with opportunities to gain knowledge and advice from some very wise and experienced individuals while also being able to share my own ideas and experiences. The world of music is built on connectivity; whether it is the artist connecting to the listener, or the musicians connecting with one another during the creative process, it is comprised entirely of these relationships. The San Diego Songwriters Guild provides a community where these relationships can develop and grow. That being said, I am excited to be a part of this organization. Working as Vice President under 2014 Guild President Diane Waters has been a great experience and I feel very fortunate that she will remain on the board as Vice President as I move into my new leadership role. I still consider myself relatively “new” to San Diego, having moved here from Columbus, Ohio just over two years ago. I love to travel and spent the first part of 2014 in Central America teaching music, which was an amazing experience. I am an avid songwriter, musician and performer and have a great love and appreciation for the incredible way that music brings people togethIn January 2013, Mike left his Midwester. It is this quality that sets music apart from other art ern hometown in Ohio, and settled in forms and allows musicians the ability to transcend any San Diego, where he has been writand all differences in people. Appreciating those differing and performing. Wojniak has partences as we find common ground, I enjoy collaborating nered with a new independent label, with musicians and artists of all types. There is no better and after more than a decade of music way to broaden our perspective than by working closely making as an independent artist, has with other musicians whose work we respect. released his third studio effort, Anima Mundi, through Golden Wave Records. I truly look forward to 2015 with the San Diego Songwriters Guild and am very happy to be able to work with such a great group of talented and experienced people. I am excited about the events and opportunities that we will provide in 2015, and am always open to your suggestions and comments. The best way to contact me is via email at [email protected]. Here’s to a prosperous and creative New Year! Mike P.S. If you aren’t receiving our emails or newsletter ,please request to be added to the mailing list by contacting us at [email protected]. Keep in the loop so you hear about what’s going on! Aurally Yours SDSG 2015 VP & 2014 President, Diane Waters As I look back on 2014, I realize it has blown by like a leaf on the Santa Ana winds! We’ve enjoyed a fun and productive year, and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know and work with many new faces as well as longtime SDSG supporters. We’ve had some amazing events and guests including Jim Attebury of the Durango Songwriters Expo, and Speed Dating for Writers, Performers and Engineers, both thanks to Peter Dyson and Studio West. We held a showcase in May at The Merrow in San Diego, and then our annual gathering… the Summer Jam at Mark Charles Hattersley’s Rancho Bohemia. Incoming SDSG President Mike Wojniak and I hosted a mentor session at the “San Diego Music Thing” in September; we both had a wonderful time and enjoyed addressing the packed meeting room full of songwriters! Our theme was “When Inspiration Meets Perspiration” and we focused on getting inspired and where to go with it from there. Several participants stayed after the program to talk and later decided to join the San Diego Songwriters Guild... We’ve seen you at events since then including the Larry Beaird “Arranging the Hit” event that we developed and hosted in coordination with NSAI San Diego. We saw a lot of new faces at the Annual San Diego Songwriters Guild Song Contest this year, an event that showcased San Diego’s extraordinary writers (and which was a lot of fun at the La Jolla Brewing Company venue!) Something new we started recently is an open mic/winter Jam at the Hill Street Café in Oceanside… We hope to do another one there in the near future and to see many of your faces and hear your songs! So many to thank… to all our sponsors and volunteer judges for making our 2014 Song Contest one to remember. Thank you to former SDSG President Tim Mudd for the beautiful ad you designed for us. Thank you Chuck Philyaw for finding sponsors and helping connect us with the S.D. Music Thing. Thank you Wil Ruiz for being my right-hand man and volunteering at so many events. And thank you to all who have volunteered at any point or are considering volunteering in the future. We appreciate your support; it helps us help you! It’s been a flurry of activity behind the scenes too! Thanks everyone who worked so hard through the year... to Stacy Kim Johnston our board secretary, John Pape who is both our webmaster and treasurer, former President and long-time advisor Mark Charles Hattersley, and Jeff Caldwell, one of our new board members with a can-do spirit! A special thank you to Mike Wojniak our 2014 Vice President and incoming 2015 President As I pass the torch to Mike, I am excited to see how his talents and warmth guide SDSG further along in its continuing journey. But I know Mike, like me, will always remember that without you, our members, SDSG could never be the vibrant organization we are. I’m looking forward to seeing you again, and to seeing what 2015 holds in store for us all! Warmly, Diane Justin Froese Wins 2014 SDSG Contest Justin Froese In a collaborative effort with songwriter Nancy Montgomery, songwriter, artist and producer Justin Froese took home top honors, the Platinum Award, at SDSG’s 23rd annual Song Contest. Justin is known for his groove-driven alt pop stylings, built on a diverse palate of musical tastes. His mainstream sensibilities combined with ten years of classical music training have resulted in the ability not only to cross genres, but also in many cases, defy them. Bluesy and soulful are two words that hint at his musical presence. One of Justin’s most recent collaborations with his Nashville-based co-writer and cousin Nancy Montgomery, “Finally Here,” topped the strong 2014 SDSG Contest field. An infectious and uplifting song that got everyone at the event involved, this tune also earned Justin and Nancy Grand Award in the 2013 Song Door International Songwriting Competition and placed as a finalist in the 2013 USA Songwriting Competition. Currently, Justin is performing and promoting his full-length album, Fireflies, and looks forward to touring the U.S. and Europe, as well as continuing to collaborate with other artists in the coming year. Visit SDSG’s website SDSongwriters.org or drop by Justin’s website at JustinFroese.com to hear more from this outstanding writer and performer. Congratulations Justin! “Trouble” by Morgan Leigh and Paul Coughlin ( mlbmusic.com ), a sassy tune performed by their great country band, earned them the 2014 Gold Award . Look for Morgan on American Idol this year. Andre Hoth ( ampmusic.com ) took us on fantastic journey with his unique song “Clouds;” it captured the Silver Award for this talented writer/prducer. And, rounding out the top award winners, Savannah Philyaw and co-writers Calman and Amanda Hart took home the 2014 Bronze Award with “Uh - Uh.” The 23rd annual SDSG Song Contest was held at the La Jolla Brewing Company. The venue was great food and beverages were always at the ready for those whose hunger or thirst demanded satisfaction - and the setting allowed participants a real chance to connect with like-minded writers and performers. Beginning at about 7PM, song entries were played for judges and audience to hear. After everyone’s songs had been listened to, scores were tabulated, winners announced, and prizes awarded... All in one jam-packed night, with a few drawings for special prizes thrown in for good measure, too! The 2014 entries were of uniformly excellent quality; I found myself loving song after song. The writers made the judges’ jobs very tough indeed! That said, a huge thanks goes to our judges and, of course, our sponsors; please see our sponsor page in this newsletter for contact information. Thanks, also, to the SDSG Board and to everyone who participated in the contest! OK, time to start working on next year’s entry!

A native of England, Peter Dyson came to San Diego from Austin, Texas in 2004. The third owner in Studio West’s forty year history, Peter spearheaded the studio expansion and remodeling project in 2005, determined to bring to fruition his vision of a world-class, fully integrated San Diego-based recording studio, comparable to the top facilities in Los Angeles. His thirteen years of professional expertise in strategic business planning, leadership training and human resources for Motorola’s Semiconductor Group in Austin and his passion for music have uniquely equipped Peter to assemble a top notch team of engineers and producers at Studio West, and to identify and develop services to better meet the needs of clients. As a drummer, Peter has played and recorded with bands in both England and Austin, and has a musical taste that is as diverse as the artists who have recorded at Studio West. Whether she is performing at a house concert or the House of Blues, talented singer-songwriter Diane Waters connects with audiences in a way that stays with them long after the evening is through. Diane has written with Walt Aldridge, Gary Baker, Tim Johnson, Matt Evans, Sandy Ramos, Liz Hengber, Richard Harris and many other talented writers in Nashville, Los Angeles and San Diego. She has collaborated with San Diego artist Steven Ybarra, co-writing five songs on his upcoming 2015 release and with Clay Colton on two songs from his 2013 release. Diane also has an upcoming EP of her own. She offers vocal, songwriting and production consulting services and was SDSG’s 2014 President and is SDSG’s current Vice-President. San Diego resident and Patrick Henry High School alum Craig Goldy is best known for serving as DIO’s guitarist for several different stints from 1986 through 2010, appearing on several records and touring the world. Before DIO, he played in the bands Vengeance, Rough Cutt, and Giuffria. His writing credits include contributions to the catalogues of all of these bands and David Lee Roth, as well as his own solo material. In addition to continuing to record and perform with different bands and projects, Craig is active with Destiny Bridge, a program which enables unsigned artists to fast track their material to music industry executives. Rhyming: A Perfect Craft By Harriet Schock When it comes to rhyming, the opinions are varied. I grew up on the music my parents introduced me to. Rogers and Hart, Cole Porter... I bet we had every album Ella Fitzgerald ever did featuring the great songwriters of the American songbook. In these songs, craft was obvious but never got in the way. The lines were sung the way one would speak, the rhymes were perfect. Understand that “Perfect Rhyme” is not a value judgment — it’s a technical term. “Look and book,” “letter and better.” Not “look and pull,” “letter and her.” Yes, years have passed, but in musical theatre writing, the standard of the perfect rhyme is still upheld for the most part. I’ve heard some wildly imperfect rhymes in some modern Broadway shows, which probably means that the rules are getting more lax. But I would not advise using near rhymes in a show any more than I would advise a person to be obscure in a lyric just because he can point to a hit song that wasn’t clear. There are many reasons why something becomes a hit, or goes to Broadway, for that matter. Regardless, I don’t think it’s a good idea to emulate the weaknesses of the genre you’re studying. I recently met an interesting songwriter who was in a rock and roll band by day and came home and listened to Sondheim at night. The band was called “Christopher Cross.” Warner Brothers decided name the group after its lead singer/composer, but the writer I’m talking about – Rob Meurer - helped create the band with Christopher and currently writes lyrics to Christopher’s melodies. Rob also writes musical shows which are getting a lot of attention. (You should Google him and read his lyrics. And while you’re at it, check out “Secret Ladder,” Christopher Cross’ new CD. ) Rob’s writing displays all the edge of today’s music, as well as the craft that is in danger of disappearing. Why shouldn’t rhyming craft disappear, you might ask? Well, craft helps deliver emotional impact. In a song where you’re attempting to have an effect on people, if you decide that “run” and “up” rhyme because they both have the same vowel sound, you may never understand why you just didn’t connect with the listener quite enough. I know it’s becoming fashionable in pop not to rhyme at all for fear of its sounding too “legit,” “old school,” “commercial,” whatever. The problem is the music may be setting up a rhyme with a repeated rhythmic sequence in the melody. If the lyric doesn’t rhyme, it just leaves us feeling... less. And you don’t want your listeners to feel less, do you? They’re depending on songwriters to help them feel more. Harriet Schock wrote the words and music to the Grammy-nominated #1 hit for Helen Reddy, “Ain’t No Way To Treat A Lady” plus many songs for other artists, TV shows and films. She co-wrote the theme for “Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks,” currently showing in 30 countries. She and her band were featured in Henry Jaglom’s film “Irene In Time” performing 4 of Harriet’s songs. She also scored three other Jaglom films starred in “Just 45 Minutes from Broadway.“ Jaglom’s current film, “The M Word,” features Harriet’s song “Bein’ a Girl,” performed on camera at the end of the film. Harriet is in the process of writing the songs for “Last of the Bad Girls,” a musical with book by Diane Ladd. Karen Black wrote the play, “Missouri Waltz,” around five of Harriet’s songs, which ran for 6 weeks at the Blank Theatre in Hollywood as well as in Macon, Georgia. In 2007, Los Angeles Women In Music honored Harriet with their Career Achievement and Industry Contribution award. Harriet teaches songwriting privately, in classes and she teaches a popular online course by private email.

Do you ever get stuck in a songwriting in a rut? Are you bored or frustrated trying to come up with new and fresh ideas for your songs? Sometimes all it takes is a new and different approach to get the creative juices flowing again. Here are ten tips to shake up your songwriting routine. 1) Write your song using a different instrument. Or start without any instrument and just sing (a cappella). If you’re used to creating a song on your guitar, try using a keyboard. If you usually start with the chords, start with a simple melody. 2) Start with a different part of the song. If you usually start with a chorus, try writing a killer first line that will grab the listener by the ears. If you usually start with the first line, write your chorus, then the verses, then the bridge. 3) Make an outline of your song before you start. Many of the top country songwriters do this and they swear by this tip. This also keeps the song progressing from one verse to another. There’s also a better chance of having the last lines in the verse lead to the chorus, which is important. 4) Start with a one-word title. This is helpful because it limits your choices! Some recent one-word titles that were huge hits were “Happy,” “Firework,” “Pontoon,” “Cruise,” “Beachin’,” and “Rude.” According to Billboard magazine, about one-third of the songs on the “Hot 100” charts are one-word titles. Here’s the link to the Billboard article: http://www.billboard.com/articles/list/5944890/ top-50-single-word-songs-one-word-wonders 5) Start with a beat or drum loop. You don’t even need a drum machine to do this one. Just tap and clap a rhythm. After you have your groove, start riffing or improvising a melodic hook or chorus, and you’re on a roll. 6) Listen to – and study – different genres. If you only listen to Country, listen to Pop and the Billboard “Hot 100” Charts. Most of the top songwriters listen to just about every genre to get ideas. 7) Write someone else’s story. Read a magazine or newspaper and write a song about one of the stories that moved you. Hit Songwriter Mary Chapin-Carpenter wrote her song “Halley Came To Jackson” after reading Eudora Welty’s book “One Writer’s Beginnings.” 8) Look at tip sheets for a project and a deadline. There are many companies like Taxi (www.taxi.com) or HitLicense (www.HitLicense.com) that provide leads on who needs what. You don’t need to join to look at their listings, but reading them will give you a good idea of what’s needed in the current music industry. 9) Read a songwriting book. For some great ideas, read a book such as Robin Frederick’s “Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting” or Jason Blume’s “Six Steps To Songwriting Success” or Lisa Aschmann’s “One Thousand Songwriting Ideas.” Click here for more information: http://www. nsaisandiego.com/songwriting-books.html 10) Find your people. There’s no doubt about it – collaborating with other people can really help your songwriting. But, it’s tough to find the right co-writers. So, check out the great songwriting organizations in San Diego.

Have a successful 2015, keep on writing, and enjoy the journey!

NSAI owns and operates The Bluebird Café, which is featured on the ABC TV hit show “Nashville.” My Experience with Durango Expo by SDSG Secretary Stacy Kim Johnston The Durango Songwriter’s Expo is an event every serious songwriter should know about. I discovered Durango Expo when its founder Jim Attebury joined us in San Diego a couple of years ago for an SDSG-hosted event. I learned that the Expo is held twice a year; in Boulder, Colorado in the Fall and Buellton, California in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley in the early Spring. I will be embarking on my fourth Durango Expo this February. Let me tell you why. I have attended Expos in both California and Colorado and have enjoyed wonderful experiences, a different perspective, each time. It is all about the people I’ll meet, the people I already know and will get to know better, the aspects of the music business that I will add to my knowledge base, the feedback I will get on my songs through listening sessions, and the sense of belonging and family I will again feel. As a Durango “regular,” I get recogThe Durango Songwriter’s Expo is nized and encouraged to keep pursuing my dream. I take in all a premier national singer-songwriter the valuable feedback that I get in my pitch sessions and from event founded in 1996. It takes place conversations and workshops on various topics and decide my twice a year, once in Santa Ynez Wine next move... do I want to re-record or start with a fresh song? Country, (this year's West Coast event Are my lyrics on point and my melodies strong? My Durango is February 26 - 28) and again in Octoexperiences have proven to be invaluable as I grow and move ber in Boulder, Colorado. With over 40 forward with my songwriting. music industry pros and hit songwriters present and limited registration, And when it comes to new material, there is not another time the Expo offers an unparalleled netof year that my inspiration runs higher. One year I wrote six working opportunity. The Expo is one songs during and shortly after a Durango weekend! While the of the few songwriters' events where Expo is going, it is not uncommon to see your fellow musicians participants get their music heard exsprawled out throughout the lobby of the Marriott playing tensively by established industry vets. their guitars in small groups and brainstorming new ideas for durango-songwriters-expo.com songs, songs born of Durango. Not to mention the inspiration that springs from opportunities to meet big name artists who have been in the business and have written hit songs. It is so interesting to hear their success stories and they love to share their experiences, good and bad. On the last night of the Expo, the panel of hit songwriters puts on a concert of their top songs and it is simply amazing, because it is spontaneous and they play off each other like the professionals they are. Probably the most impressive Durango development in my few years of attendance is the launching of Meghan Trainor’s career! She was at the last Durango Expo I attended and now look at her! Unfortunately she will not be attending this year in Santa Ynez (only because she is now touring all over world!) but I believe she will be back. Bottom Line: don’t let Durango pass you by; it is an experience you do not want to miss. Stacy 2014 SDSG Song Contest It was a blast... and here’s looking to a productive 2015!
