CONGRATULATIONS ALL!!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!

Why WWAHM May Be More Important Than You Think!

VERY SPCECIAL THANKS to the two hit songwriters who agreed to co-write with our winners. Keith Follese (over 200 cuts with major artists!) is one of the most successful songwriters in Nashville!

And Vince Melamed is an iconic country/rock piano player and songwriter. He's played with everyone including Dylan, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffet and many more, and co-authored the legendary duet by Don Henley and Trisha Yearwood, "Walkaway Joe" (written with Greg Barnhill, also a past Expo participant).

The Expo always attracts top mentors to co-write with the winners!
