Avoid composers showcase at Myrons, as it's solely built on it's musical director's rampant favoritism, discrimination and greed.
Performed at Composers showcase at @Myrons and always recieved such amazing welcome and lots of compliments from the crowd and my fellow musicians.
Yet, it's musical director, very competitive, women hating man - Keith Thompson, literally "cuts oxygen" for female talent by denying any use of orchestra, shaming musicians for writing music by ear, (he wrote to me, that according to his husband, -everyone should be reading charts, 🙄🙄🙄 instead of having and using a natural gift for songwriting by ear, ( a lot harder then reading notes and doing math), like many great musicians, - including Jimi Hendrix, Elvis and Elton John.)
He is mooching for sponsors and cash at the beginning of each composers showcase, pretending, that it will benefit creative, local talent - in reality, it has nothing to do with any support of any talent, -he does not practice what he preaches, and is agressively after cash for his greedy "non profit".
It has nothing to do with real local talent and everything to do with greedy, local men with their preferences against female talent.
I will leave it here, as he had the guts to leave me way too many painful, personal insults, via texts, certainly shaming for writing by ear.
Pls, support other non profits, that really do, care about talented songwriters and practice what they preech.
