Songwriters Stewdio was only a seedling that blossomed over cups of coffee and conversation in July of 2013. The Co-Visionaires of the project, Sandy McAfee, Mike Pedersen & Lynda Norman came together with a perfect blend of varied experience and a desire to create something collaborative and unique. They knew it was to be focused on original music and would utilize the space at Music City Studio. In a few short hours the concept was born and the first trial session was booked for August 22nd 2013. The moment the first session was completed we knew we were on to something. The experience was intoxicating and the results were fantastic. As we shared the first songs on Facebook the next day the "Likes" and comments rolled in and the excitement continued. As of February 2016 we have completed 52 sessions, recorded 71 songs, and had over 300 different individuals come through our doors. The songs have have created 14,000 listens organically with no additional promotion on our part. In July of 2014 we took the next step in our expanding vision and Incorporated as a Production company. We are in the initial stages of some really exciting projects and will keep you posted as they evolve. Until then, come join us and see what all the fuss is about: The 1st & 3rd Monday's of each month @ Music City Studio - 1950 Windsor Rd. Kelowna, BC. Be sure to let us know that you are coming so we can get you on the guest list. See you soon! |
