Collin County Songwriters Association News
In case you hadn’t heard—it’s official: the Collin County Songwriters Association has been granted 501(c)3 non-profit status by the Internal Revenue Service! After two years, three false starts, and a lot of work, the association is now ready to start the “real” work. Plans include more expanded concert programs and seminars, education outreach to schools, and support of songwriters and musicians in North Texas in their efforts to advance and become known. We’d like to thank attorney Cynthia Hurley for providing just the right expertise and working hard to make this happen.
Wade Kilgore hosts an open mic jam, Texas Style, at Hank’s in McKinney on Wednesday nights, 8:00PM – 11:00PM.

Come out early for some great Texas food like only Hank’s can do it. Then head out to the back, and sign up and get on the stage.
