Several of the industry pro's invited our attendees to continue to submit songs to them, even after the conference was over. I know of several instances where our writers signed single song deals and even a producing agreement. Other publishers/pros heard real potential from our writers and we'll recognize them here along with the list of songs that we know have been picked up at this point.

The following is a list of Publishers/Industry Pro's with the songs or songwriters that they recognized and/or picked up:

Norman DeVasure
Cheryl Ashton and Cathy Serum
Greg Caldwell

Ted Lowe
"…the one person who stood out from my listening sessions was BRIAN KELLEY. Though I didn't hear a song/recording/performance that I felt was immediately ready for radio or TV/film placement, he was closest overall, and the one guy that I intend to keep an eye on as his band develops because I hear something there and could see them going all the way".

David Hilker (Wild Whirled Music)
Brian Kelley - "…we're interested in some of the material on Brian's CD".
Greg Whitfield - "Great vocals, playing and recording. We're interested in material from Greg".

Tim Gaetano (Tangerine Moon Music)
"There were two writers whose song ideas stood out because of originality…and lately, original and fresh seem to be hard to find!! BRIAN KELLEY's "When Daddy Comes Home" and GREG WHITFIELD's "Martin's Song"

Holly Hefner (Ann Wilson Music/Song Catchers Music)
Brian Kelley - "When Daddy Comes Home" "…good - captured my attention at beginning… creative…pitchable demo..."
Greg Whitfield - "When She Goes" "good/pitchable demo - like the "Beatles" feel…likeable melodies…"
Greg Whitfield - "Sucks To Be You"

Monica Benson (BOK Music/Wild Pink Music)
Didn't hear what she was looking for. Passed on all submissions.
