Get ready for our next FREE songwriting challenge. We’ll ask you to write a song to a specific topic, and then we’ll gather to listen to the new songs.

The topic for this month is HOLIDAYS. Of course it is.

Does that mean we’re asking you to write a Christmas song? That’s one option. There is ALWAYS a market for a great new Christmas song. But if Christmas isn’t your thing, choose a holiday closer to your heart.

OR, write a song where the story happens around the holidays. We’re not tying you down too much.

OR, to take this even further, feel free to write about your vacation. But we’d rather hear you write about a holiday celebration that your listeners can relate to.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to “answer the call”. You will have until December 7th to write and record a demo of a new song around the given topic, and send it to songcall@songstudio.ca (MP3 audio file, and PDF of your lyrics).

To repeat, this is about WRITING A NEW SONG, not about sending us something written already. Challenge yourself and get writing!

Stuck? Call a songwriter friend and write it together.

Got two new songs for the call? Send ’em both.

Got an older song about the given topic? Leave it at home. Write something fresh!

Lunch & Listen

On Saturday, December 7th, we will host a FREE Zoom listening party from 10:00am-12:00pm, Eastern Time. Bring your lunch and enjoy the songs written to “answer the call”. The Zoom link will be emailed to the SongStudio mailing list, so be sure you’re on our mailing list if you’d like to attend.

This is NOT a critique session. The point of Song Call is push you to write songs and inspire you to stay on the recommended theme. Have fun and write on!
