THE SONGSALIVE! CONNECT NETWORK

Bridging the gap between songwriters and the music industry
The coolest thing since slice bread... our own Connect website where songwriters and the music industry can interact online. Get hip with it today! We've developed a networking site - by invitation only for Elite Members - that allows our Elite and Music Industry Associate members to interact online, supporting our in person chapter meetings, workshops and showcases. It's brand spankin' new and we'd like you all to test drive it. Similar to a Facebook or Myspace site, this network is simply and only for our Songsalive! members and a great way to interact, share your music, profile and find like minded music peeps. Differently, it's ONLY for Elite and Associate members, and so it is not about how many join the site (as it's not for public use) but rather, a tool for our existing members to use and interact with each other.

www.songsalive.org/community for more details about the CONNECT NETWORK and all our online communities.

Elite members, log into the Connect Network at www.songsalive.biz

Need an invitation to join? Email songsalivemembership@gmail.com with your full name, and Elite Member number.
