West Coast Songwriters

About this original series

We invite all members of West Coast Songwriters to send us a short clip of a performance of one of their songs plus a short description with any contact information and we will post the clip and the short description onto the website. We also post interviews, promos, PSAs for any WCS related event.This may take a little time as we are an organization made up chiefly of volunteers.WCS was founded in 1979 and is a not-for-profit corporation devoted to promoting the art and craft of songwriting as well as supporting performance development of its singer/songwriter membership. The ultimate goal is to help WCS members hone their skills and market their songs and peformances to the industry that is looking for new songs and new artists all the time.
