BMI once again hosted a successful "Circle of Songs" songwriters showcase at the Gig in West LA on Wednesday, October 25. The showcase, which is done in the round, is an ongoing series that BMI hosts on the last Wednesday of every month and is webcast on Liveonthenet.com

Featuring:

Barry Holdship
Being compared to Buddy Holly, Bobby Fuller and Elvis Presley is no easy feat- but Holdship delivers, as he knows how to grab an audience with his hooks, melodies and style. He follows in the footsteps of the "Pop Masters" looking further back while continuing to move artistically forward.

Andrew Kerr
Andrew delivers his unique brand of introspective folk-influenced music with catchy melodies and a hearty dose of sarcasm and wit. Hailing from New York and formerly an investment advisor, Andrew fled Wall Street to pursue his music career by performing with his band The Big Shooz Playaz. Sure to be a hilarious, charming and crowd-pleasing performance.

Ray Doyle
Has been recording and touring both nationally and internationally with Wylie and the Wild West for the past eight years, including an appearance on the Grand Ol’ Opry. Ray is also well known for his original band Reach for the Sky and establishing LA’s first exclusively country songwriter’s night "Country Writer’s Spotlight".

Kevin Webster
A classical music graduate from Penn State, Kevin made his way to Southern California where he has formed "Forever Kid". He has also lent his talents to several artists from World Beat, R&B, Pop, Country-esque to Industrial Rock. Music Connection magazine has compared Kevin to Kurt Cobain, Sammy Hagar and David Crosby.
