Subject: Songwriting Finalists Announced at Rose Garden Coffeehouse

The Rose Garden Coffeehouse in Mansfield, MA, has just announced the
three finalists in the 19th Annual Performing Songwriter Competition.
The quality of the entries was exceptional this year and the
decisions difficult. The three finalists are:

Jim Colbert, Bellefonte, PA
Chris Elliott, Leverett, MA
Larry Murante, Seattle, WA

They will perform their two songs live just before April Verch and
her band take the stage on May 15 in Mansfield. April comes to us
after her hit performance on the worldwide telecast of the Opening
Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and tours this past
year that included Australia, Alaska, and other far-flung places.
Congratulations to the finalists!
