Another exciting Songwriter’s Showdown BIG Shootout is now history. Our competitors arrived from as far Pennsylvania and all parts of Virginia to bring original compositions for this incredible night of music. Congratulations to all our competitors who brought their best to the finest and toughest competition yet: Pat Anderson, Tony Farris, Sam Holland, Tony Kirkland, Victor Gottlieb, Rob Williams, Charlie Petry, Roger Reynolds, Michael Arthur, Jesse Davis, Nicholas Faulconer, and Jordan Garrett!!

We’d like to send out a BIG “thank you” to our expert panel of judges for The Shootout – Sarah White, Justin Laughter, and Bill McElroy. They all served with experience, knowledge, and most of all, a deep love of original music. We were honored to have had them serve on this panel – it’s a difficult task and they approached the job with real dedication. Another “thank you” goes to Alex Norman for assisting with production and sound for the night.
