The Regional Songwriting Contest is an opportunity for songwriters from across the Central West and surrounding regions to share their original music on a professional stage. 🎤

Open to emerging and established songwriters alike, the contest celebrates original voices, storytelling, and the diversity of music being created in our region. Finalists will be selected to perform their songs live at BMEC, supported by professional musicians and technical production, giving artists the chance to present their work in a high-quality performance environment.

Whether you write folk, pop, country, rock, or something entirely your own, BMEC encourages you to apply and be part of a vibrant celebration of regional creativity.

ABOUT RAECHEL

Raechel Whitchurch is a passionate advocate for artists and the driving force behind Sure Thing Agency, a boutique music booking agency she founded in 2019. With over 15 years of experience working with some of Australia’s biggest artists, events, and international promoters, Raechel brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a hands-on approach to every project.

Representing artists such as F***y Lumsden, Jenny Mitchell (NZ), Colin Buchanan, Denvah, Adam Harvey, and The Buckleys, Raechel’s unique ability to blend business acumen with a deeply personal touch ensures that every artist feels supported and empowered to focus on their craft. She is dedicated to helping artists thrive by fostering meaningful collaborations and creating unforgettable live experiences.

Her career is defined by a commitment to quality over quantity, fostering close partnerships with artists, venues, and managers. Raechel’s focus on strategic planning and innovative solutions challenges the traditional mould of booking. Under her leadership, Sure Thing Agency has gained a reputation for its fresh, creative approach to tour strategy and artist development.

As an accomplished songwriter and artist in her own right, Raechel brings an insider’s perspective to her work that extends beyond touring, carefully crafting each project and challenging the outdated notion of ‘that’s just the way it’s done’.

In everything she does, Raechel and her team prioritise authenticity, passion, and innovation—values that have made Sure Thing Agency a trusted partner in the Australian music scene.

This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government through Sound NSW.

TONIGHT! .schubert will be joining Greg on his program ‘The Laundromat’ on to play through the compilation album of local Christmas songs he produced in 2019. From 8pm.
