What is the Songwriter’s Showdown?

Based on the open mic Shootout from Eddie’s Attic and developed by Eddie Owen, national and local writers of original song are encouraged to participate at Central Virginia’s Premier Listening Room! THE RULES How we do it: Cover charge is $5 for audience, $3 for participants The show starts promptly at 7 pm Host and soundman (or guest) will judge: in the event of a judging tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by the audience Performers are judged in 5 areas – songwriting, vocal performance, playing ability, stage presence, and audience response Cash prize to winner – 75% of the door, up to $50 and a space in “the Showdown Finals” We provide 1 vocal mic, 1 DI, and 1 instrument mic if needed From the performers, the judges choose 3 semi-finalists to perform one additional song each, then a winner is selected from the 3 finalists. That winner goes home with a cash prize and the opportunity to perform at the Showdown Finals and the chance to win the big cash prize!! Rules...
