ABOUT THE SHOWCASE:
The Songsalive! Los Angeles Showcase features a new venue, a new date, and a new format! Songsalive returns to Hallenbeck's after a couple of years. Hallenbeck's is an well known venue for acoustic Los Angeles Songwriters and performers - they have a small stage with a great sound system, great food and drinks, it is family friendly too, with free parking on the street.

ARTISTS:
We have four performers who will be doing mini-sets in two rounds - so nice you hear them all twice! And we'll have a short intermission in the middle for food, stretching, and conversation.

Featuring:

John Stowers
John Stowers has been called one of the most promising singer/songwriters in Southern California. A Rootsy Pop Rocker with surprising soul. Songs filled with original thoughtful lyrics and melodies that soar. John's songs reflect his passion for the music that inspired him back when he was growing up in rural Missouri. Unable to tune in radio stations from surrounding cities, John grew up listening to his older brother's classic rock and soul collection. He draws from this rich musical history when writing his songs. There are echoes of everything from Liverpool to Memphis in his music.

John recently won a 2004 Billboard World Song Contest award. "Jimmy's Song" won 3rd place in the R&B/Blues category. It's gratifying validation for a performing songwriter who's been out there playing bars/coffee houses and patiently honing his craft. John's currently completing production of his record which is due to be released by the end of this year. Stay Tuned!
