Established in 1983 by Tony Ansems, Songwriters of Wisconsin International is an organization based in Appleton whose goal is to help songwriters achieve a higher level of excellence in their craft.
Everyone is invited to come and visit us, and if you are interested in joining, the low membership fee of $30 per year gives you a Quarterly Newsletter containing the latest news, pictures, and helpful information. The monthly critique meetings are held on the last Thursday of every month.
The annual banquet in September has brought in many pro writers and publishers, such as Jon Ims, Steve Seskin, Tony Haselden, Marc Alan Barnette, Moe Loughran and Combustion Music Publishing (Jesus Take The Wheel). We would also like to thank BMI for the generous grant they gave the organization to help in our quest for writing excellent songs.

Friday, Nov 13: Blake Thomas & Josh Harty (Full Band) "Each tune is carefully crafted, focusing on the intricacies of intertwining instruments as well as the poetics of the lyrics... Perhaps most distinctive of those pieces is the voice of Blake Thomas. Like Robert Plant or Eddie Vedder, Thomas creates a sound I fall victim to every time. It takes only 1 note to recognize the voice & realize I need to hear more." -The Badger Herald http://www.myspace.com/soloblakethomas http://www.myspace.com/joshharty
