Emily, of course, was also the last winner of our 97Xposure contest. This press release arrived in my inbox this evening and I thought it was worth noting:
The winners of the 2004 John Lennon International Songwriting Competition have been announced, and Cincinnati/Dayton artist Emily Strand is among the 12 grand-prize winners. Strand won the top prize in the Folk category for her original song "Lou", which appears on her summer 2004 independent release, Delay in the Connection. Strand's winnings include $5000 in Yamaha Studio equipment, a $5000 advance on a single-song publishing contract from EMI Music Publishing, $200 gift certificate to Musician's Friend, and 1000 custom CDs courtesy of Disc Makers. "Lou" is still in the running for the Maxwell Song of the Year award of $20,000 cash, to be awarded in July.
