"For the Sake of the Song" with Matt Meighan begins Satruday, January 16 at Edgefield winery

From my friend, songwriter Matt Meighan:

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the first show of a new monthly series I'll be hosting at the Edgefield winery: "For the Sake of the Song," the third Saturday of every month. I'll invite one or two other songwriters each month to join me in presenting their most "truth-telling" songs.

This Saturday, Jan 16, I'll be joined by the wonderful songwriters Paul E Sanchez and Ali Wesley. We'll each play a short set and probably do some songs in-the-round as well. Music 7-9, free, at Edgefield Winery. I'm looking forward to sharing the stage with these two fine songwriters.

Also, this Friday (Jan 15) I'll be playing a solo show 5 - 7 pm at the New Seasons cafe in Happy Valley - also free.

And, of course, I continue to host the Songwriter Roundup at Artichoke music every Thursday from 7-10 pm; this week's featured artist is HaleLupe. $5

Details for all my shows along with directions, links to google maps, etc are always listed on my website, http://www.mattmeighan.com
