The Austin Songwriter's Group

Alex played again Thursday night at the Logon Café with his friends Scuddy Loupe, Jarod Jones, and Donny Corville. A wonderful surprise for us was that Scuddy had also invited Rick Dana and Rick Busby of The Rick Show fame to play! They were great as usual. During the show, Rick Busby approached me as president of the Austin Songwriter’s Group (I didn’t know this!) to tell me how impressed he was with Alex’s original music and encouraged me to have him enter their spring contest. He said he considered Alex’s music in the top 10% of the music they typically hear from songwriter submissions!

Of course, his mom and me have always thought his music was great, but I felt that was an especially good compliment coming from a person well established in the songwriting business who is a talented songwriter in their own right. Judges for the contest are recognized industry professionals and exposure of Alex’s music in this setting will be great. He’ll be submitting several songs in various categories and winners will be announced in mid-June. Wish him luck and we’ll keep you posted!
