The Songwriters Stage has been an institutional rite of passage for Chattanooga’s emerging artists since it was created by The Camp House in 2014. This year the four preliminary rounds were in Gate 11 Distillery in the Chattanooga Choo Choo (the fourth and final preliminary round is Friday, February 17th at 7). The competition finale will be held on March 3rd in the superb acoustics of the new Camp House (806 E. 12th St.).
Each round of competition has eight to ten performers with two winners each; one from the judge’s ballot and one from the audience choice. The two winners from the first round—Jennifer Daniels and Heidi Kalua are our guests for the session recorded live in the studio in the Chattanooga Public Library.
