Collin County Songwriters Association News
Rockin’ the Park ’09—Saturday, April 18th!!! Watch the video trailer here. The CCSA explodes back into the “free concert business” with the return of Rockin’ the Park—after a one-year hiatus. The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department has worked closely with the association again this year to ensure a success. The event has moved to Warren Sports Complex at 7599 Eldorado Parkway in Frisco. Seminars, demonstrations, and the Backstage Open Mic start in the main pavilion at 12:30, the main show starts at 4:30 and goes to 9:30. Overflow parking will be across Eldorado at St. Francis Catholic Church.
Concertgoers are encouraged to bring one canned food item per person for the Frisco Family Services food bank. The Frisco Soccer Association is running their food drive at the park the same day, and the CCSA is joining efforts to help restock the shelves. Bring chairs, a blanket, food and drink (no alcohol) to enjoy a great afternoon in the park.
CCSA members will play on the open mic stage. The big stage will feature Tredway and Friends, Rory Don Moore, The Foundation, U4IX (pronounced Euphorics), and The 8-Tracks. The music ranges from Americana, Texana, contemporary, blues, rock and children-oriented originals, to fun good-time cover tunes. Sponsors include Anderson Guitar Gallery, Neighborhood Arts and Music, and sound reinforcement/engineering is provided by Subzero Sound.
Yes, we know Jimmy Buffet is playing on this date—and we love him, too. But if you’d rather take your family to an event that isn’t “under the influence,” this is your ticket! ;-)
Tons of CCSA Videos are up on the CCSA’s hyper-local social networking site. Go to http://ccsongwriters.ning.com/video to check out the fun and eclectic collection. There are a number of videos from the Drury University sound stage/media department in Springfield, Missouri that were shot last November and have just been released.
