DSA SHOWCASE AT POOR DAVIDS PUB FRIDAY JUNE 19 - DOORS OPEN AT 6PM SHOW STARTS AT 7PM

This Friday, June 19th, is the quarterly DSA Showcase at Poor David’s Pub. Admission is a $10 donation which is, of course, tax-deductible. Doors open at 6PM. Music starts at 7:30. 
After the showcase, there will be an open mic - as if the showcase isn’t enough!. 

7:30 Dan Roark
8:00 John Mason 
8:30 Barbe McMillen
9:00 Mary Guthrie w/ Dickey Johnson
9:30 Buck Morgan
10:00 Rachel Platt Wilhelm
10:30 No Contact Band - Allen Larson, Ian Dickson, Paul Martin Zander, Craig St. Clair, and Whit Hyde. 
11:00 Open Mic 

Members who make their donation online at www.dallassongwriters.org will receive priority on the open mic list. If over 20 members pay their donation online, there will be a drawing for a one year membership or DSA cap.

So bring friends, bring family - did I say tax-deductible - and let’s all have a good time. Since Poor David’s doesn’t serve food, you can bring food in. However, if enough people donate online, hors d'œuvres are not out of the question.

I’ve made my donation - tag, your “it.” See you there!
