We started sending out Scores and Comments to the contestants for our 8th Annual COMBO Songwriting Contest this week. Look for yours soon! Our top-scoring contestants and their songs were: “Who Took the Donuts Away” by Paul Iwancio and Greg Trafidlo; “A Little Bigger” by Christopher Ryan; “Keep This Thing Alive” by Karen Current of the band Slopeside; “I Walk in Shadows” by Steve Son; “To Stone” and “The Star of Telluride” both by Mike Abbass; “Delusions” by Arjay Sharp, and “This Lonely Day” by Michelle Roderick. Congratulations to all. Look for them to perform at COMBO’s Showcase in November!

COMBO Member Rob Roper edited the songs taking out the meta data so the judges could be fair in not knowing who wrote the songs. Rob recently did a video made by another COMBO member and Board Bar Code Administrator Jamie Krutz. Watch the video of Rob’s song – and COMBO participants – at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S97Jq2nVrKw
