A Note about SAW Open Mics...

You are encouraged to check SAW.org calendar frequently as venues are in flux and the number of activities keeps increasing.

As we know, not all "open mics" are the same; each one has its unique format to learn. Some are for members only. Some are "show up and sign up" OMs w/ no advance signup; some stipulate original songs only; others allow/encourage covers.

What do they all have in common? They are all run by current SAW.org members who, in addition to their own agenda, enjoy putting others onstage.

Congratulations to all the Winners of the 28th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest!

The overall quantity and quality of submissions to this year’s contest was very high, making an always-difficult selection process even more difficult. Everyone who entered is a winner for taking on the challenge of preparing a song for competition, and putting it out there for others to hear and judge. However, it is not possible for every song to place. Those who have won in this year's MASC are listed on this site.
