2/3 Singer-Songwriter with Folk Influences

Post by Casey H » Tue Jan 17, 2017 5:32 pm

Went 2/3 on this one with a lot of help from my friends (Co-writers & Producers)... Thank you Paul Otten, Steven Guiles, Pedro Costa, and Nathan Nasby. :D

Also, just want to mention that Screener 347 is top notch, by far one of the best Film/TV screeners at Taxi. Forward, return, agree, or disagree, this is someone who obviously really knows their stuff when it comes to Film/TV music. Kudos #347! :D

SINGER-SONGWRITER SONGS with some FOLK Influence that have Male or Female Vocals are needed by a NON-Exclusive, Boutique Music Library that needs quite a bit of fresh, new material for TV and Film pitches. They’re searching for Songs in All Tempos that are in the general stylistic range of artists like, The Tallest Man On Earth, Joseph, The Wind and The Wave, etc., etc., etc. Please review the following references the client gave to us to get in the general ballpark of what they need: “Rivers” by The Tallest Man On Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyPYU-FnffM “White Flag” by Joseph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el1QWfnYy_c “Grand Canyon” by The Wind and The Wave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--zhov5kpbQ Please submit contemporary sounding Singer/Songwriter songs with some Folkie influences, engaging melodies, attention-grabbing melodic and lyrical elements in all sections of the song. A stand out chorus needs to be a priority, whether you’re submitting a stripped-down guitar/vocal song or a fuller, ensemble driven piece. Be sure your vocals are unique and confident, with a current sounding delivery. Your production should feel authentic to the genre, with instrumentation that’s mainly acoustic, however, some electronic elements can work as well. Any or all of the following instruments would be on target: acoustic guitars, piano, banjo, ukulele, stomps, handclaps, fiddles, mandolins, etc. Quoting the source: “Group vocals and harmonies are a plus but not necessary, especially for more stripped-down songs”. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, Include Lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Tuesday, January 10th, 2017.TAXI #Y170110SS
