PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING OUR SONGWRITER’S GROUP!
We are a group of songwriters looking for people who are serious about doing the work necessary to write commercially successful songs.
Our adopted motto is "The Art of Writing is Re-writing."
We are very open to getting to know writers who have a passion for chasing perfection. We will never achieve perfection, but Excellence is a realistic goal.
We love to write. We love to meet and work with new and interesting people. Our suggested ground rules are simple;
.. .. Almost everybody is welcome, but you choose who you want to write with. (mean, hateful or tasteless people will be blocked.)
.. .. Each co-writing team is responsible for documenting their own co-writing agreement. We suggest a 50/50 split on all co-written songs.
.. .. We suggest that if two partners can’t come up with a song they like from a given idea, the partner that first proposed the idea keeps the rights to it.
.. .. We strongly suggest that all communication about ideas for a new song take place via private communications, and are never posted as comments or other public means.
.. .. We suggest that you protect your identity and personal information in ways that seem prudent to you. We are all looking for actual friends, but let’s be real - this is still the internet. in other words, build those relationships with some caution.
.. ..The Music Gin is a meeting place, but we do not control or take responsibility for the legal agreements between songwriters.
.. ..We do not charge anything for our role in the process. We are just writers like everyone else.
If this sounds like something you would like to be involved with, shoot us an e-mail, and we will send you an invitation to join the group. then you can enter into a discussion that will hopefully lead to a successful and profitable partnership.
Here’s to your next great writing project!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/03/2008
Band Members: We’re not actually a band. More like a group of songwriters banding together to improve our craft. The Music Gin is a meeting place for a group of people who think songwriting is great fun, meaningful, and fulfilling. We are about enjoying the process of the craft, the pursuit of excellence, and the joy of working with new and interesting people. Interested in being part of it? What are you into?
Influences: Being in way over my head in the Atlantic Ocean; wilderness camping at forty below zero near the Grand Tetons; Spooking a massive Bull elk in knee-deep snow on a sunny day; Jumping across a creek at ten years old. Having a Dad that was scary strong. Seeing God every day in my Mama’s face; Growing up in a house full of kids. Working really hard in the southern sun. Finding love that will last forever; Seeing my Sons for the first time; Playing bar gigs from 8 years to 25. Being up on big stages a few times; Living on the road; Being glad I don’t have to do it anymore; Wishing I could do it again. From Bach to Boot scoot, funk to folk, I’ve played it and loved it. I’ve heard a lot of different kinds of music that I like. I’ve heard some that don’t make no sense.
Sounds Like: Music to me.
Type of Label: Major

Strange Species

What a strange species we are. We are so interdependant, and yet we are so defensive. We ache to hold and be held, and yet we are our own highest obstacles. Afraid to let anyone touch us, we...

Show Yourself Some Love!

You gotta show yourself some love, sister. On the days you don’t feel lovable, just work twice as hard at it, by listing in your mind every positive quality you possess. And you have many. One e...
