Each week the Brown Bag Songwriting Competition sets the stage for local songwriters to showcase their craft. The winner of each week’s contest walks away with a cash prize and the chance to come back on Sunday, Nov. 23 to compete in the finals. Want to be a part of the 11-week event? There are still four more Monday night Brown Bags leading up to the grand finale. Sign up here — registration is currently open for the Monday, Oct. 27 installment. It’s free to attend; performers each contribute $3 to the cash purse. Learn more about the contest here.
