 FROM KATE POWER (2006 MTL winner):

"Travis John" (2006 MTL grand prize winner) has been choreographed to ballet and is being performed as part of the White Bird dance series with choreographer, Josie Moseley. The three shows are nearly sold out. Steve is doing a rendition of the song on our next album and we're excited about having a version in the man's voice. Tracy Grammer is experiencing some good reviews for her version of it.

The Fourth Public Domain Foundation Music to Life Songwriting Contest and Concert.

Does music really makes a difference in the world?

We'd like to think so. Since 1971, Public Domain Foundation has spent almost 2 million dollars supporting children and family service organizations, domestically and abroad, through the royalties of just one composition, "The Wedding Song." Here's your chance to bring the special message of your music to life and sing it to the world.

The fourth MTL series once again seeks original compositions dedicated to a social or political issue of concern. Finalists receive travel stipends and free passes to the Kerrville Folk Festival, and top award winners receive donations of up to $1,000 to the charitable organization(s) of their choice.
