A Moorefield man is among the finalists in an area songwriting competition.
The Minto Cultural Roundtable is presenting the first annual Minto Songwriters’ Challenge.
Eight finalists have submitted lyrics based on the theme of “Small Town” and live performances will be held on Nov. 25 at 7pm at the Norgan Theatre in Palmerston.
The performances will be aired on Wightman TV, as well as posted on the Town of Minto Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The public is welcome and encouraged to come out to hear these performances and then vote for their favourite song by “liking” the posted performances on Facebook and YouTube. Admission to the Songwriters’ Challenge live performances is free.
The eight finalists are competing to have two songs recorded, as well as a paid performance at the 2015 Concerts in the Park and gift cards from challenge partners A&R Music, Ernie King Music and Drayton School of Music.
The finalists are: Trina Larter of Conn, Alexandria McRae of Listowel, Nicholas Mercuri of Fergus, Kyra Ash of Palmerston, Juanita Wilkins of Clifford, Doris Laird of Mount Forest, Samantha Glasier of Hanover and Peter Schofield of Moorefield.
