Welcome song writers, song lovers, song singers and other casual misfits of the creative rodeo that is modern music. SAW hopes to be your best resource for tools, tips, ideas and relationships. If you seek opporTUNEities to share your gift, come and join us as we make the solitary suffering that is songwriting an enriching community-based experience (or at least try real hard). Roam our pages and social media outposts, ask questions, attend functions and otherwise make yourself heard and seen. If we help you find rhyme, that is our reason. SAW is a community of volunteers, so we need you to participate. Make yourself at home and get to work on your next song.

Visit our contest pages for info about the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest and to listen to winning songs from previous contests. Check back for this year's winners soon!

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for updates and the latest news. 

Have you Seen the
MAKE MUSIC DAY VIDEO WALL?

For Make Music Day, we asked for every musician within the region to post a video of themselves playing to a virtual video wall. This was our second project on a new website called StreamCatcher.org. The first was a Covideo contest held in April and May, when we awarded $2000 in prizes. See the winning videos HERE and all the videos entered HERE. We will keep the Make Music Wall up for a while, so be sure to visit the wall and watch videos. If you click on the artist name, you can visit their website (if provided). Watch for more projects on the StreamCatcher site soon!
