14 SONGS IN
28 DAYS

February Album Writing Month

~d~ Days ~h~:~m~:~s~ left until FAWM 2009!!

FAWM stands for February Album Writing Month. Can you write 14 songs in 28 days? What are you waiting for... inspiration?

"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
Jack London

Each February, FAWM.ORG forges a collaborative community where musicians of all walks and skill levels write an album's worth of material in the shortest month of the year (roughly one tune every other day). Fawmers are a mix of music professionals, students, homemakers, and folks who work dayjobs but rock nightclubs. Join us!

FAWM.ORG Re-Launches Soon!

Hiding out in his frozen FAWM fortress in Wisconsin, Burr Settles (founding fawmer) is busily readying the website for the sixth annual FAWM in a few weeks. It's a complete overhaul (and he's also been busy finishing a PhD), so please be patient! FAWM.ORG will be re-launching soon. Feel free to click the "donate" button to the left and expedite the process. If you're a new fawmer, sign up on the e-list below and we'll let you know when things are running! Rock on...
