Steel Bridge Creative National and Regional songwriters team up and write together, a new experience for most musicians.
(296)

Steel Bridge Songfest is an annual volunteer community event produced by the Steel Bridge Creative Foundation (previously CfOB) and is the only songwriter festival of its kind in the world. Preceded by a 4-day songwriting marathon, the celebration is designed to promote community awareness, enrich the local economy, and to champion historic preservation through the use of artistic expression and experience. We also raise awareness through CD compilations of original songs written and inspired by the bridge, and through volunteer public performances.

*** CONSTRUCTION ZONE & CD PROJECT ***
The Construction Zone is an intensive, collaborative week-long songwriting marathon for professional and aspiring songwriters, to create songs inspired by our local surroundings, particularly our historic Steel Bridge. The collaborative process allows the individual artist to expand techniques, network with other artists, and offers a learning experience of all aspects of the creative process including recording and engineering. The marathon culminates in public performances of the fresh new works. The Artists donate the recorded music to the SBCF effort and a compilation CD is created (ie; Steel Bridge Songs). The recording process also engages national technicians in working with aspiring regional recording engineers and sound technicians for a hands-on learning experience.
