Horse and Writer / Skip Ewing





Jun 25 2008 9:16 AM

Just getting the word out to remind our Songwriter Friends that this Friday (June 27th) is the extended application postmark deadline for Skip Ewing's Horse & Writer "Invitational." A 7-day writer's retreat like no other, during which You'll be given personal guidance by Skip and three other multi-award winning hit songwriters. This year: Deanna Bryant ("Stupid Boy," "Johnny and June," "Don't Make Me"), Clay Mills ("Fall," "Beautiful Mess," "Don't Think I Don't Think About It"), and Chris Wallin ("Love Me If You Can," "Don't Blink")

Apply for one of up to 20 scholarships to attend Horse & Writer Invitational for $0 tuition, but do it soon (by Friday)! Scholarship covers all food/lodging/education/riding. (You don't have to ride horses to participate.)

Don't worry if it's not the perfect demo, we're listening to submitted songs that represent their writers. You'll be heard for your writing, not production.

Visit the Official Horse & Writer website: www.horseandwriter.com

And please contact us if You have any questions: theteam@horseandwriter.com

Much joy,

The Team

Jun 23 2008 12:19 PM

Hey there RBB Friend!

Can you believe it? We're finally taking pre-release orders on RoseBud Blue's debut album, “Depending on the Glass"! ... You may be asking yourself, "why do I need to get my copy of this hot new album now, a couple of weeks before it's actually out??" Well friends, let me tell you...pre-release sales will not only be delivered to your very own doorstep the day it is out in June but your rockin' package (addressed, licked and sealed by the girls themselves!) will also include an autographed picture of the RBB girls!

As you can imagine, we are very excited about completing this album and know that we couldn’t have done it with out all of the support we received along the way. We sincerely want to thank you for being a part of our journey.

So, head on over to RoseBudBlue.com and pick up your very own copy today...before it becomes the “cool” thing to do.

RBB

Hi! Happy summer!

I need a favor. I need you to go to You Tube and look at my new music
video -- it's of a new original song called "Cook Somethin' Up," a
tasty blues concoction filled with references to celebrity chefs from
the Food Network.

Please take a look, write a comment on it, rank it and even subscribe
to it. Please rate it and recommend it to other folks (tell 'em about
this great new song you like, that they might also enjoy) and explain
it's by a guy you know and like and would like them to pass the word.
If you e-mail the link to a bunch of your friends, it'll help me by
getting the word out.

I appreciate whatever help you can provide. I think the song i good
and I'd like to get as many people as possible to listen to it.

Thanks very much. Hope to see you soon!
