Songwriting on Assignment

March 24, 2004 at Music Works Northwest

The SCA presents a panel discussion featuring four of Seattle's best-known songwriters who have all had to "write on assignment" - be it for jingles, television or film projects, specific artists, or organizational anthems. They will discuss their working methods (words or music first, working with collaborators, etc.), how they deal with clients, rewrites, etc., and tell stories about some of their more interesting/weird assignments. Featured speakers include:

• Sue Ennis - Lovemongers member and co-writer of numerous hits for the rock group Heart. Currently writing with Hummie Mann.
• Casey James - over 90 songs recorded by many artists including Elton John, Jennifer Lopez and Johnny Mathis
• Brenda Kutz White - actress, performer and singer - she wrote and performed Christmas in the Northwest that has been featured on six CDs benefiting Children's Hospital
• Hummie Mann - moderator, SCA founding president, Emmy-winning film composer, and educator.
