Presented by the School of Performing and Visual Arts Distinguished Artists Series, the free event features Fiona McAllister, Glenn Selby and Steve Simpson. The workshop is open to the public and will be held 1-5pm in the Gardner Recital Hall in the O. Max Gardner building. The concert will be 7:30pm in Blanton Auditorium, in Hamrick Hall. Attendees should bring three copies of their original songs to perform for the guest artists. "At the workshop, the three songwriters will teach songwriting, lyrics, melodies, chord progressions and substitutions, give critiques on your songs in a song circle, and talk about the publishing and music business," related Dr. Patricia Sparti, GWU professor of music. "They will also discuss the 'Best practices of Successful Songwriters.' After a break for dinner, the concert follows. All three songwriters will swap songs, and the program includes performances by singer/songwriter Kevin Bridges, the GWU AcaFelons, and others." Selby has a Bachelor of Music with a minor in music business from Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. Having worked as a music publisher in Nashville, Selby has been affi liated with songwriters since 1985. His roles have included publisher, producer, mentor, contest judge, and co-writer. Currently, the offi cial mentor for Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) Charlotte Chapter, his focus has been to share deliberate approaches to songwriting and the entire songwriting process. Selby says these techniques have been used for over 80 years. Simpson has been writing songs as a hobby for 20 years, and performs them regularly at acoustic music venues in the Carolinas. He has won numerous songwriting contests. In 2006, he released his fi rst CD, "Better Late," and in 2013, he released his second CD, "Dusty Lawn Chairs." Simpson has been a member of the NSAI for 20 years, and is currently one of the coordinators of the Roc k Hill, SC, chapter. McAllister is a co- coordinator for the NSAI Charlotte Chapter. She is trained in song construction and evaluation by the NSAI in Nashville. A multi- instrumentalist, she performs 13 instruments in a program called, "Strings and Things," for local schools. She plays Celtic hammered dulcimer and harp for weddings and has a hammered dulcimer CD. She performed in contemporary Christian groups and Shepherds Pie folk group for years. "My favorite thing about working with the songwriting community is helping people gain the skills and courage to share what is unique about them," she shares. "That is where the skill and the artistry meet." Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 48 hours prior to event.

GWU Distinguished Artist Series Hosts Event for Aspiring Songwriters 3 Accomplished Composers Will Share Advice & Critique Compositions Article Provided By: Jackie Bridges Accidents and storms can disrupt the electricity that powers everything in homes and businesses. A short- term loss of power can be a nuisance, but extended power outages can cause damage and may even be dangerous. Widespread power outages are often anticipated during or after severe storms, which can disable entire power grids. Because damaged power lines and infrastructure must be carefully assessed after severe storms, it may take anywhere from hours to several days before power is fully restored. The Food and Drug Administration says that food spoilage is one of the hazards of long-term power outages. If a storm is imminent, you can be proactive by freezing the contents of the refrigerator when possible so that items can stay at safe temperatures longer, advises the FDA. Food can remain safe for up to two hours at refrigerator temperature before it starts to spoil. Grouping food together in the freezer also can help it stay colder longer. Having extra ice on hand or freezing containers of water also can provide a chilling effect, as well as serve as a water supply if faucet water is unavailable — which can be a concern for those with well- pumped water. Your barbecue can turn out to be your best friend during power outages. Many stoves, even gas ones, will not light because of electric ignitions. A gas camping stove or barbecue can serve as the primary place to cook food until power is restored. Always have a secondary propane tank on hand. Keep plenty of bottled water on hand, especially if your water supply is well-fed and requires an electric pump to activate fl ow. Stock up on blankets and warm clothing. Power outages during the winter can be especially challenging because of the lack of heat in a home. Family members can huddle together in small rooms to conserve heat. People with wood-burning stoves can use them to keep warm. Fireplaces tend to be more show than ambient heat providers, but they can still serve as a heat source in a pinch. If you have a generator, run it safely. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says generators should be operated as far away from the house as possible to avoid deadly carbon monoxide fumes. Also, use appropriately-gauged, outdoor-rated extension cords to power up generators. It is also important to stay put and avoid the road after a storm that causes a power outage. Wires may be down, traffi c lights may not work and dangerous debris may be littering the roads. Hunkering down is the best approach until power is restored.
