Songwriters Race to Get Heard at BMI ‘Demo Dash’

Aspiring songwriters got a golden opportunity last week, as BMI New York presented a two-day "Demo Dash" at Sin-E Bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side. With sessions in both the pop and rock genres, top A&R executives from record labels, music publishers and management companies were on hand to listen to and critique a host of music from a wide variety of up-and-coming songwriters.

Pictured after the rock "Demo Dash" are (l-r): Spirit Music Group's Meridith Valiando, Epic Records' Vinny Caruso, BMI's June Neira, Icon Music Entertainment Services' Matthew Gordner and Warner Bros. Records' Holly Schomann.
