Songwriter's Depot February Show News!

Updated February 26th, 2010:  It was a magical night at Songwriter's Depot February 25th as we welcomed two incredibly talented songwriters extraordinaire to the Depot stage ~ Victoria Shaw & Gary Burr.  The show was fantastic and Victoria and Gary are immensely talented and genuinely nice folks. They both have amazing careers and are such interesting people.  Happy Birthday to Gary today!  Victoria asked if we could surprise Gary on stage with a dessert last night and he loved the hot fudge cake.  Thank you to Shane for having them join us for the first time at Songwriter's Depot.  We hope they come back again and again....
