New Songwriter Showcase, Podcast & Internet Show, "The Hook", Is Arriving

Songwriters, here is a step in your career to get your talent noticed. In an era when so many of the greatest songs go unheard, and their composers are resigned to virtual obscurity, “The Hook” aspires to open up a new and exciting forum for songs and their creators to find the audience and support they deserve. By breaking down the siloed perspectives that everyone suffers from in the digital age and completely opening up the opportunities to everyone, the best songs and songwriters will emerge with the help of artistic criticism and a dash of humor.

The new platform was founded by veteran country music journalist and critic, Kyle "Trigger" Coroneos of the website, Saving Country Music, who intends to make this a top-of-the-line production captured live for distribution on YouTube and other platforms.

"If you're anything like me, you're perpetually frustrated that your favorite songwriters never seem to get their due," said Trigger. "We've all had those moments when a song completely knocks you on the floor the first time you hear it. Sure, a good song can help pass the time and get your toe tapping. But a great song can change a life, change someone's perspective on life, or change the world itself. We're in search of those great songs." 

The event will take place from 7:30-9:30pm ahead of the show's first planned pilot show taping on September 29, and is a FREE event to attend by the general public and open to songwriters of all talent levels to perform in. Songwriters are encouraged to sign up for a chance to perform by arriving early and bringing their guitar.

Hosting the show and making up the nucleus of the judges panel will be Trigger, along with award-winning songwriter Caitlin Cannon, who has worked as both a teacher and organizer for songwriter programs involving military veterans with PTSD, as well as in person with felony inmates. Known for her fearlessness and unfiltered takes, she's the perfect compliment to this completely unscripted show. Other professionals and songwriters from throughout the music industry will also join them on the panel as time goes on.

Though singing competitions abound, and forums for songwriters are not uncommon, "The Hook" is unique in how it centers on the song first, not the singer, or the performance. A good performance can help sell a great song, but a great song can go much further, changing hearts and minds, changing our perspectives on the world, and changing the world itself.

I have had the pleasure of being to many songwriters rounds, and happy to see this platform come to fruition. For all and any information check out: https://savingcountrymusic.com/thehook

Songwriters ARE important and the backbone of all songs you hear on radio, in concert and more. I wish "The Hook" great success.
