You may have noticed that we did not run a Songwriting Contest this year so we were disappointed
that we would not be able to give away – as a Grand Prize – an entry to the Durango Songwriters
Expo worth $450! But Jim said, “We’d be glad to offer an entry anyway!” So here’s the deal: For
everyone that joins COMBO and pays their dues or a previous member who renews their dues by
Saturday, September 7 , we will throw those names into a hat for a drawing for the entry at our
Board Meeting on Sunday, September 8 . We will notify the winner on Monday, September 9 !
We’ve also confirmed our Annual Songwriters Showcase on Saturday, November 16 at Odde’s,
9975 North Wadsworth, Westminster. From that same group of members (new & renewing), we will
ask them to perform a couple of their original songs! Good chance for your friends to see you and
to sell your CDs and other merchandise. Renew – or join – now before you forget!
COMBO’s president, Barb Dye, says she’ll throw in a free video of one of your shows as well! Not
“professional” but filmed with a good camera set on a tripod so it won’t be “wiggly”. A video that
will show you how you look to your audience and give you some great insights as to how you look
to your audience, and a video that you’ll have for forever memories!
The Durango Songwriters Expo will be held Thursday, October 3 thru Saturday, October 5 , 2024,
at the Omni Interlocken Hotel & Resort in Broomfield, Colorado.
Previous winners have been Gary Dean Smith, Steve Law, Robert Hojoboom, Dustin Adams,
Connor Lipke, Amanda Harras, Michael Hossler, Michelle Roderick, and Willie Hammond.
