“MARGIE SINGS GROWN-UP MUSIC” CONCERTS:

Several times a year, Margie lends her talents for a good cause to sing blues, folk and jazz for a night. So, get a babysitter, and treat yourself to a night out! Tickets are usually tax-deductible donations.


“TidalTunes-Songs of River & Earth”, Thank you to all who attended “Tidal Tunes-Songs of River and Earth”, a benefit for the Chester Land Trust, featuring Tom Callinan and Phil Rosenthal. We raised almost $5,000.00, and made a solid recording to raise even more for open space preservation! Margie would like to thank Purification Technologies, Inc, and Whelen Engineering, both of Chester, for making this possible.

Thanks to all who followed my grown up concerts with Small Town Concert Series this past year. It was great fun, and though I am busy working on other projects this year, I urge you to continue your patronage to this wonderful group of artists, who have expanded their venues this year to include The Ivoryton Playhouse (see video of us on the link), and the Kate! Contact: www.myspace.com/smalltownconcertseries for details.


MARGIE’S A HIT AT THE 27TH ANNUAL STORYTELLING FESTIVAL ON April 25, 2008!
Margie brought the house of approximately 350 attendees down that Friday night. She opened the annual festivities as a featured artist for Family Night, hosted by Connecticut College for the Connecticut Storytelling Center www.connstorycenter.org
The audience got to hear the back-stories to 2 songs, (including the songs themselves): “Sock Monsters”, from “Singin’ Round the Campfire with Margie” 2005, and “Turn Out the Lights and Go to Bed!” from the 2007 “On the Road with the Fun Family” album. Margie is currently working on turning “Sock Monsters” into a children’s storybook.


 

Margie’s “Singin’ Round the Campfire” and “Sock Monsters”: both quarter-finalists in the 2006 International Songwriting Competition!
What wonderful company to be in…After all was said and done, the ISC received over 15,000 entries from over 88 countries, and Margie made it into the quarter-finals (approx. 50 other songs in the Children’s category). Though not chosen as one of the final 14, it was quite an honor, especially to be in the same category as Bill Harley, whose work Margie has admired for over 15 years. The panel of judges was important; CEO’s ranging from record companies, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, and Music for Little People. Let me know what song YOU think I should enter next year, and for more information on the ISC, log on to: http://www.songwritingcompetition.com
