and Music Parlour
Tullahoma Songwriter's Circle
Welcome!
Here is our Promise!
We at the TSC
will  support and promote our local songwriters
in their songwriting endeavors.  
If you are writing, we are listening!!
Please patronize our most generous hosts,
The Sweet Aroma Cafe,  
The Celtic Cup, the Viola Valley Country
Store & Restaurant and The Brew.
They have wonderful menus and are
allowing us to hold our Circles at their
establishments. Please treat them well!
A circle, defined, is never ending
As hands on the face of a clock, ticking strong
And words can take on different meanings
It's how you interpret the song
And so when our circle gathers
This place where we all can belong
We can learn and nurture and know each other
As we grow our circle of songs
So let the music move your soul
As we let the lyrics flow
and let us make it very clear
you're always welcome 'round here!
The Tullahoma Songwriter's Circle was started by Sherry Lawson and Kathy Martin,
two singer/songwriters who were living in Tullahoma and felt there was a need for a
better outlet for songwriters -- one that would give them a chance to try out their
material and perform their songs in public.  So they approached Pat Wimsatt, who at
the time ran Sweet Aroma Cafe, and the rest, as they say, is history.  
Inception began December 6th, 2006.  
We proudly support our local songwriters and urge all who are in the area to drop by
on any Circle night and please cheerfully and enthusiastically do the same!  
Now being hosted by Kathy Martin, James Bell and Shawn Smith.
Here are the Details...
Calling all Local Songwriters
Tullahoma Songwriter’s Circle

Every first (1st) FRIDAY evening of the month, 6 to 7:45pm
at the Viola Valley Country Store and Restaurant, 8852 Viola Rd, Viola, TN

Every second (2nd) FRIDAY evening of every month, 6 to 9pm
at The Celtic Cup Coffee House, 106 North Anderson Street, Tullahoma, TN

Every third (3rd) TUESDAY evening of every month, 6 to 8pm
at The Sweet Aroma Café, 401 Wilson Avenue, Tullahoma, TN

Every last FRIDAY evening of every month, 6 to 9pm
at Brew's Alley, Manchester, TN

These "meetings" are open to the public!  Performances start promptly!
We will make every effort to get songwriters who show up a chance to play!  But DO let
us know if you want to play!  If we have to guess, sometimes we're distracted with other
people or performing ourselves... we sure don't want to miss anyone -- so speak up to
one of us that's running the Circle that night.  :)
A $1 donation will be appreciated from all who attend (there's a jar); this is to defray  
administration and advertising costs in support of The Tullahoma Songwriter’s Circle.
Circle nights are open to everyone!
We are listening!  So we respectfully ask that YOU respect the performers and please
refrain from talking during the performances!  It's hard enough to get up in front of
people and play, it would be nice if everyone could hear what the players have to offer!
That also means – please try to turn the cell phones off!!  We realize there are
emergency situations, but please refrain from holding loud conversations during the
music!  
FYI - the Coker’s Building is a non-smoking establishment, so at Sweet Aroma - take it
outside!
We want to keep these live music situations... so... bring your own instruments!  We
do not usually have a set up to play taped accompaniment.  Although we will provide
the mics and cords and a music stand, as far as instruments go, please bring what you
intend to play.  
If you do not play an instrument and are a lyricist and would like to read your lyrics, we
are open to that!  Tullahoma Songwriter’s Circle is a networking organization and you
will meet some songwriters who would be interested in partnering with you to turn your
lyrics into songs! Have some nice music but no lyrics? Same works....
We prefer that you bring material that you have written yourself.  But if you have
something that you want to share that is a cover song -- you must know the
SONGWRITER(S) name(s) and share that information with us.  After all, we are
songwriters -- we would want people to know that WE wrote a song if they sang ours,
right?  So make sure you know the songwriter information if you are going to do a cover
song.
Applause is definitely allowed! :)
Please take care of our hosts - they are generously providing us a place to hold our
Circles!  They have great foods and beverages so come hungry & thirsty! :)

On the Horizon…
We may need minimal yearly dues fees at some point in the future, however, for now, the $1
at the door will hopefully be enough. Some ideas for member’s privileges:

Songwriting "round tables" -- Ask us more!
Access to our members info/websites available to The Circle
Opportunities to perform in Showcases at The Circles or at chosen places set up
specifically for TSC performances – Showcases would require you to do several of your
songs as a "program" – with guests if you’d like - basically, the stage would be yours!
Something to work toward.
The ability to promote your personal websites via links on the TSC website pages.  Also
to promote CDs or current projects via those links.  
Looking to the future, after some time, we plan to do a “Best of the Circle” CD and
choose some of our best and brightest members to do cuts on a compilation CD
recording to commemorate our time together!
More great ideas to come from YOU, Circle members. We would love to know your
thoughts and comments!

  • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 07/11/10 - Kathy's Mom, Elizabeth (Betty) Ann Martin, passed away at 3 minutes before midnight on Sunday, July 11th, 2010.  Kathy would like to express her deep appreciation to James Bell, Shawn
    Smith, Marilyn Harris, Audrey, Jerry and others who were so helpful in keeping the Circles going while she was out ill herself and while her mother was in and out of the hospital and at home in
    hospice care... a songwriter uses words... but sometimes words can not convey how much the friendship and understanding means at this difficult time...  Thanks is not enough - but Thank You!
  • -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  • 07/04/10 -  HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!   Be Safe!  
  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 07/03/10 - It's official!  THE BREW is open for business!  James Bell did a spectacular job of opening the stage of Brew's Alley for them!  Rebecca and her staff (and lots of friends and relatives) :)
    have worked tirelessly to make sure the place was ready -- and it was!!!  It'll only get better from here on out.  The TSC will be performing there for the first time on the last Friday night of July, which is
    the 30th!  Everyone should make the effort to come out and support this wonderful new venue.  AND -- it's the PERFECT place to showcase your own work -- work up a show, contact Shawn Smith,
    grab a date and fill the room with your friends and neighbors...  it is really going to be THE place in Manchester to hear good music!!!!!!!  :) :) :)
         
           Rebecca!!!  Tremendous job!  Kudos, I say!!!  And to Shawn and Audrey and all who helped to make it here so far.  You said you're still working on it -- but It's already brilliant! :)  
           And if you happen to have tickets to a show at the Manchester Arts Center right across the street --- what a perfect place to have a cup of cappuccino before or after the show! ;)  Bravo!
  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 07/02/10 - We came - we sang - we had a wonderful time at Viola!!!  Shawn and Marilyn and I carried the evening, with help and support from Larry!  James was singing solo at The Celtic Cup (with
    some guitar assist from Jerry), so couldn't be with us... but we sang on!  Thanks to the good folks, Judy and Harold, and their wonderful staff, of the Viola Valley Country Store and Restaurant who
    make us feel so welcome!  We look forward to being back the first Friday in August!!! :)
  • We are sad to be losing our good friend Larry Zagranis...  he's leaving for parts North/Northeast... :)  It's farewell, but not goodbye for good we hope... we'll stay in touch on the Facebook thing and
    hopefully see him again.  Good Luck and God's Speed, Larry.  You will truly be missed in our Circles!!! :)
  • -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • FOR ALL TSC MEMBERS INTERESTED:  If you would like to perform solo at BREW'S ALLEY -- you need to contact their music coordinator, Shawn Smith.  Here is the info:












                                                                                                                                 Call her for specific dates and more information.  Thanks!
  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • June - All the Circles went very well! :)  I'm sorry I've been lax and out of touch... as many of you know, not only have I been still recuperating myself from my last MS bout, but my mom is having medical
    difficulties as well and is now at home in hospice care... to make matters even worse, I've wrenched my back trying to help out, so I'm really having issues ... I'll be participating in Circles as often as
    possible and updating when I can grab a minute... but know that we are still meeting at our designated times (I will definitely try to remember to send out the reminders!) and we hope you will all be
    able to come out to support the Songwriter's Circle! :) :) :)  ESPECIALLY for our debut at the brand new venue in Manchester:  BREW'S ALLEY!  Friday, July 30th, 6-9pm.  Hope to see you there!
  • And remember:  James Bell will be opening as Brew's Alley's first solo performer on Saturday, July 3rd!

    Store and Restaurant yet - please make the effort!  They have great food, and the staff could NOT be nicer to us! :)

1320 AM, and they've asked us to help with a couple more.  This is all to promote the Circle and to get the
word out to more songwriters that we're at Sweet Aroma every week and hoping they'll pass the word
along!  Hope you'll listen!  Click on the logo to go to the radio station's streaming on-line link!  And if
anyone hears us -- LET US KNOW.  We'd like to see if it's working....  =\

Sherry and I also did the Old Timers Day gig for WMSR on Sept. 29th, 2007.  It was HOT! :)  So we're
hoping we are getting the word out - at least locally - that the TSC is here to stay! :)

This is The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Virginia, to which I belonged for years.   
Though I don't know if I'll ever get back there to perform on their stage, I still hope I
will...  their acceptance of me is what got me back into writing... so I'm ever so
grateful to them and the membership!

If you are ever in the Washington DC/Virginia area on a Tuesday evening, you
should check them out!  
Sherry and I were kindly invited to play at the Bell Buckle Cafe and we enjoyed it very much.  We
encourage our songwriters to venture out and try their chops there as well!  And the invitation is open
to any of the Bell Buckle songwriters to please be our guest at Sweet Aroma and come share your
talents here as well.  Spread the wealth, I say!!  :) :)  Best way to get your material heard by different
people, and you just never know who will be there when! :)

Hi everyone,
Jason Shields will be interviewing me next Wednesday, July 30 at 7pm on a live online radio station. We'll be talking about my new
and old music and about following your dreams and ignoring your age.  The show will be archived too so if you can't listen on
Wednesday you can tune in anytime after 9pm that night and hear it.  Here's the address to go to at 7:00 this Wednesday:

(If the first address doesn't work, please try the second)
I'm sure I'll be a little nervous and so will appreciate you all "being there".
Thanks, Sherry

Kathy,

I have a friend that has a really nice acoustic guitar for sale.  It does have built in Fishman electronics.  Sounds great and is in almost new condition.  He has it posted
at the moment on Craig’s List (link  included below).  I was wondering if you could forward this on to the other members to see if anyone is interested or might know
someone that is.  He doesn’t have the time for it and usually uses his electric to play.  I have included some photos and the link the Craig’s Listing.  I am sure that he
would be willing to consider any reasonable offer.

Thanks,
