Vote now for SOCAN's fifth annual ECHO Songwriting Prize
SOCAN has launched the fifth annual ECHO Songwriting Prize, designed to identify what's next and what's best in current Canadian independent music. This prize will honour some of the most innovative and artistic songs created in the past year by emerging songwriters in Canada. The writer(s) of the winning song will receive a $5,000 CDN cash prize.
The five nominated Canadian songs, as selected through a rigorous process by an independent panel of 10 music community tastemakers, are:
• “Albatross” written by Olga Goreas, Kevin Laing, Jace Lasek and Richard White, performed by The Besnard Lakes
• “Celestica” written by Ethan Kath and Alice Glass, performed by Crystal Castles
• “Destroyer” written by Catherine McCandless and Stephen Ramsay, performed by Young Galaxy
• “Hearts Trompet” written by Edo Van Breeman, Bryan Davies, Richard Saul and John Walsh, performed by Brasstronaut
• “Odessa” written by Dan Snaith, performed by Caribou
SOCAN invites you to listen and vote for your favourite song, up until the deadline of September 30, 2010. One lucky voter will win an Epiphone Ultra II Les Paul electric guitar.
May the Muse be with you…
