COSA AT THE BEND SUMMER FEST
COSA is a nonprofit organization founded to promote, educate and motivate members to write, market and improve their skills as songwriters.
We meet on the last sunday of every month at 2:00 PM till 5:00 PM at Rumors Restaurant located at 250 NW 6th St. in Redmond, Oregon. Anyone interested in songwriting is welcome to attend our meetings.
At one of our meetings you will find a varied group of songwriters ranging from beginners to experienced professionals. The thread that binds us together is the common love of music and lyrics. All styles of songs are welcome at COSA. You may hear country, hard rock, soft rock, pop, blues, childrens music, religious songs, instrumentals or anything else someone brings in at one of our meetings. We have contact info for publishing, copyrighting, collaboration and studio / demo services.
